Moody Flamingo in a Dark Forest (Oil Painting)

A solitary flamingo stands on a mossy bank beside a still, mirror-like pool in a dark forest. The scene is rendered as an oil painting on canvas, with thick impasto brushstrokes and a rich, moody palette. Deep emerald greens, midnight greens, and shadowy browns form the dense trees, ferns, and misty undergrowth, while the flamingo's pink plumage glows softly. Dappled light filters through the canopy, creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect and a subtle glow on the water's surface, where the bird and gnarled trees are reflected. Textured canvas grain is visible; the atmosphere is dreamlike and slightly surreal, with meticulous detail on the bird's feathers and the damp forest textures. Composition favors a low angle, 2:3 aspect, and a painterly, almost ethereal quality.
