On the Edge 2016

"On the Edge", a 2016 painting by Mark Maggiori, depicts a lone cowboy on horseback surveying a vast canyon landscape at sunset. The scene, likely inspired by the American West, evokes a sense of solitude and contemplation. The dramatic lighting, with a golden glow across the horizon, emphasizes the vastness and grandeur of the natural world, while the cowboy's silhouette against the sky creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. This realist painting utilizes a strong composition and striking color palette to captivate viewers.
