Cerberus Among Icebergs: An Oil Painting

An epic oil painting of Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, standing on jagged ice floes in a frozen seascape. Each head snarls in a different direction, with smoky black fur, amber eyes, and fangs bared. A cold mist rises from the water as towering icebergs loom in the background. The sea is dark and glassy, reflecting pale moonlight or faint northern lights. The painting uses thick oil brushstrokes and layered glazes (impasto) to give rich texture to fur, ice, and clouds. The palette is cool blues and whites—ultramarine, cobalt, titanium white—with touches of emerald and violet. Lighting is ethereal and moody, casting chilly highlights on the fur and ice. Mood: mythic, sublime, eerie; style evocative of Romantic landscape painting.
