On Guard is a classic ranch-life scene by Western painter Jim Rey, known for his authentic depictions of cowboy culture and working livestock operations. This painting captures a cowboy standing sentinel as he drives a herd of cattle across open terrain, the cool light and muted palette evoking the chill of early morning on the range.
Rey’s impressionistic brushwork conveys movement and atmosphere — from the shifting cattle to the soft, rolling hills fading into the background. The piece showcases his ability to balance realism with loose, expressive strokes, creating a composition that feels lived-in and genuine.
A strong mid-size oil for collectors of contemporary Western realism and working cowboy subject matter.
