Tundra in the Subway: An Oil Painting

An oil painting blending a tundra landscape with a dim subway tunnel. Thick impasto snowdrifts, frost, and sparse tundra shrubs spill onto the tunnel floor and up the concrete walls, while steel rails run under flickering fluorescent lights. The tunnel stretches to a distant vanishing point where the scene opens to a pale arctic horizon. A lone figure in a heavy parka stands by a maintenance cart, gazing toward the exit. The color palette juxtaposes icy blues, whites, and greys with warm amber tunnel light, creating a surreal, dreamlike fusion of nature and urban underground. Emphasize texture, brushwork, and dramatic chiaroscuro to evoke classic oil painting.
