Underwater Cat in an Oil Painting Dream

An elegant domestic cat gracefully floating underwater, rendered in lush oil-painting textures with thick impasto brushstrokes. The scene is bathed in dappled sunlight filtering through turquoise water, creating shimmering caustics and suspended bubbles around the cat's whiskers and fur. The cat's fur clings slightly to its body, eyes calm, tail curling, while seaweed and soft coral drift in the background. Visible brushstrokes and canvas texture emphasize the oil painting technique; the color palette blends blues, teals, emerald greens, and hints of gold. The mood is surreal, dreamlike, and serene, with weightless motion and a gentle, painterly atmosphere.
