Leaving Longreach

This is Leaving Longreach. QLD Charity Cattle Drive 2026.
I kept thinking about that quiet moment on the road when the light goes soft and everything slows down. The horse steady, the dogs moving ahead, the windmill still in the distance.
The pink and purple sky felt important. It gives the whole scene that end-of-day feeling without needing much else. I left the brushwork open so the dust and the heat could still sit in the paint.
