Lightning in the Lab: An Oil Painting

An oil painting of a cluttered laboratory during a thunderstorm. A jagged bolt of lightning forks through a rain-soaked window, flooding the room with electric blue and warm ochre light. The bench is piled with glass beakers, flasks, test tubes, copper coils, and a glowing liquid in a beaker; sparks dance along wires and a Bunsen burner glows. Thick brushwork and impasto textures give dramatic chiaroscuro: deep shadows, bright highlights on metal surfaces, and a painterly swirl of color that blends science and storm into art. The scene includes a shadowy scientist in a white lab coat observing the electric spectacle.
