Kraken in the Shadowed Woods — Oil Painting

An oil-painting style scene of a colossal kraken rising from a dark forest pool, its massive tentacles curling through shadowed undergrowth and around gnarled tree roots. Surrounding trees loom tall with moss, fog drifts, and pale moonlight filters through the canopy, casting cold blue highlights on wet bark, tentacles, and the rippling water. Palette: deep emerald greens, midnight blues, charcoal blacks, with accents of ochre and burnt sienna. Thick impasto brushwork and visible canvas texture give a classic oil painting feel; the kraken's eyes glow faintly, hinting at ancient intelligence. The atmosphere is eerie, surreal, and mythic, a haunting fusion of sea depths and forest gloom.
