Cowboys in wide-brimmed hats ride away from the viewer, seen mostly from behind and in side profile, packed edge to edge in a loose horizontal group. Their horses come in dusty rose-pink, faded blue-teal, warm chestnut and cream-palomino, while jackets in deep teal and denim blue carry a single coral neckerchief.

No horizon line is drawn; the open landscape is only suggested through soft blocks of color. Thick palette-knife impasto in the horses' coats and riders' jackets blends colors softly at the edges, lit as if by a hazy sun, for a serene, nostalgic Americana feel.
