Meerkat in a Flooded City — Oil Painting

An upright meerkat perched on a submerged curb in a flooded city street, rain softly falling. Painted in rich oil-painting style with thick impasto brushstrokes and dramatic chiaroscuro. Rippling reflections on the water mirror the pale skyline of dilapidated skyscrapers; muted palette of blues, grays, and ochres with a warm glow from distant streetlights. The meerkat’s wet fur catches light as it surveys the surreal, melancholy urban scene with painterly texture and depth.
