A smiling, amazed cowboy with a round face, tanned skin, thin mustache, brown felt hat, red-and-blue plaid shirt and worn leather boots crouches, opening an old wooden box and holding a shining golden star; a stocky light-brown horse named Brownie with a smooth black mane stands slightly behind to the right in a protective pose, a small bright yellow bird flies above. The scene on Cactus Hill shows ochre sandy ground, gray rocks, large green cacti with twisted arms and pink flowers, a light blue sky and warm sun casting soft shadows. The focal moment is a treasure discovery: the open box contains the golden star and a small rolled parchment, soft light on the star and an expression of surprise and kindness on the man’s face. Visual style: saturated yet soft colors, rounded shapes, crisp outlines, smooth gradient-mesh texture, centered composition, warm reassuring atmosphere.
