Original artwork description:

This original oil artwork depicts a lively squirrel perched on a branch, clutching a pinecone with its tiny paws. The animal’s fluffy tail and expressive ears are highlighted with warm reddish tones, contrasting beautifully against the soft grey fur. Gentle transitions of color emphasize the depth and natural texture of the forest background, where muted greens and browns create a calm, atmospheric setting.

Inspired by the beauty of wildlife in its natural environment, this painting captures the charm and curiosity of the squirrel in a moment of stillness. The detailed brushwork in the fur and pinecone reflects a realistic style, while the blurred background enhances the focus on the animal itself.
