Cheetah Amid Birch Forest in Oil Painting

An agile cheetah stalking through a birch forest, painted in lush oil on canvas. Thick impasto brushwork creates a tactile, painterly texture. The cheetah's tawny gold fur with iconic black tear marks catches warm honey and amber highlights as soft sunlight filters through white birch trunks, their black knots and peeling bark contrasting with emerald-green undergrowth. The forest floor is mossy with ferns and fallen leaves; light and shadow play in a realistic yet slightly impressionistic way, with cool blues in the distance to suggest depth. The overall mood is serene and timeless, cinematic composition, with high detail on fur and bark, and a subtle glaze finish to unify colors.
