Scorpion in a Birch Forest - Oil Painting

An exquisitely detailed oil painting of a solitary scorpion in a birch forest. Thick impasto brushwork and rich, earthy tones blend emerald greens, ochres, and cool blues. Pale white birch trunks with black markings rise through the mist, dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy and casting long shadows. The scorpion sits on mossy forest floor or a fallen log, its glossy exoskeleton captured with subtle iridescence and meticulous segmentation. The composition emphasizes depth, with a soft, painterly background and crisp focus on the scorpion. Style reminiscent of 19th-century naturalist canvases and contemporary oil textures, high resolution, cinematic lighting, high detail.
