Cat in a Mangrove Swamp - Oil Painting Scene

An oil painting in the style of a classical canvas: a cat in a mangrove swamp. A tabby cat with amber eyes sits perched on a gnarly mangrove root above a mirror-like swamp pool. Thick impasto brushstrokes render glossy fur, whiskers, and the subtle texture of the fur. The mangrove roots twist with the brackish water, Spanish moss hanging from branches. Light from a golden-hour sun filters through the dense canopy, casting warm amber highlights on the cat and the mossy greens; reflections ripple softly in the water. The color palette features deep greens, olive, teal, rust, and ochre. The atmosphere is tranquil yet mysterious, with mist curling over the water and a sense of quiet observation. The painting should show depth, chiaroscuro shadows, and weathered canvas texture evident in the varnish crackle. Emphasize realism in the cat's eyes and fur, painterly textures in the swamp environment.
