Description:
The Parting Stillness lives in the moment after loss—when the world holds its breath and nothing moves. The solitary cowboy, mounted and still, gazes into the vast unknown as the orange backdrop echoes the last light of a Texas sunset. Cascading drips reflect a grief that cannot be contained, while flickers of gold foil catch the light like fading memories. This is not just a painting—it’s a reckoning, a farewell, and a vow to carry forward what’s been left behind.
