Stormbound Chimp in Oil

An oil painting on canvas of a chimpanzee standing within a raging thunderstorm. Thick, expressive brushstrokes render wet fur and rain-slicked ground; jagged lightning lights the sky and the chimp's contemplative gaze. A dramatic chiaroscuro palette of deep blues, emerald greens, and burnt umber, with impasto highlights on fur, leaves, and rain droplets. The mood is Romantic and somber, evoking resilience against nature in a moody wildlife portrait.
