No Wind No Sand

Billy Schenck's "No Wind No Sand" portrays a solitary cowboy standing alongside his horse against the backdrop of a serene desert at sunset. The sky is a gradient of soft yellow and orange hues, casting a gentle glow over distant red cliffs that stand in stark contrast to the shadowed foreground.

Clad in a striped shirt, jeans, and a black hat, the man rests his hand on the horse’s neck. Both figures are caught in half-silhouette, with one side illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun, while the other fades into shadow.

The quiet stillness of the scene evokes a sense of calm reflection, as the cowboy appears to pause, absorbing the tranquility of the desert. 

Schenck’s use of strong contrasts and bold color blocking captures the rugged beauty and timeless solitude of the Western landscape.
