Lester Hughes 'Nostalgic' Landscape

This original oil painting by esteemed Western artist Lester Hughes (1938–2021) features a striking depiction of a cowboy on horseback beside a rustic cabin and a Ford Model A pickup, all set against the majestic backdrop of the Organ Mountains. Hughes' skillful brushwork and use of atmospheric light vividly capture the rugged beauty and timeless appeal of the Western frontier.
