Kangaroo Under a Solar Eclipse: An Oil Painting

An oil painting on canvas of a lone kangaroo on the red Australian outback during a total solar eclipse. Thick impasto brushwork captures the tactile fur and dust as a silvery corona glows around the obscured sun. The sky blends deep midnight blues with warm ochres, with distant eucalyptus silhouettes and faint stars beginning to appear. Dramatic chiaroscuro lights the kangaroo’s form, giving a surreal, contemplative mood that feels like a 19th-century landscape reimagined with modern brushwork.
