Arcade Rocket: An Oil Painting of Neon Wonder

An oil painting in thick impasto style depicting a tall chrome rocket standing upright inside a retro neon-lit arcade. The scene blends warm ochre and burnt umber tones with electric blues, pinks, and greens from arcade machines. Visible brushstrokes and heavy texture give a painterly feel as light from neon signs and CRT screens reflects on a glossy tiled floor and lacquered cabinets. Spectators in vintage 1980s attire watch in awe as the rocket's amber engine hints at ignition, while starry hints shimmer in the ceiling to suggest space beyond the arcade.
