Original artwork description:

This lively painting captures a squirrel in its natural element — surrounded by a freshly gathered pile of walnuts. I was inspired by the curiosity, energy, and charm of these intelligent forest creatures. I wanted to freeze that one moment when the squirrel pauses, alert and proud of its treasure, ready to hide the harvest before winter.

The composition draws focus to the expressive pose of the squirrel: its upright body, bushy tail, and bright eyes full of life. Painted in warm browns, oranges, and golds, the piece evokes the atmosphere of a golden autumn afternoon in the forest. The detailed fur, soft grass, and glowing background add texture and depth, making it a delightful addition to any nature-themed collection.

Measuring 18x24 cm (7x9 inches), this original oil painting is created with professional materials on canvas. It’s ideal for cozy interiors, rustic decor, or as a gift for animal and wildlife art lovers.
