Thunderbird Over the Mountain Valley in Oil

An immense thunderbird with iridescent blue-black feathers and electric gold highlights soars above a misty mountain valley at dawn. Painted in oil with thick impasto brushstrokes, blending Romantic landscape drama with Indigenous mythic imagery. Snow-tipped peaks rise behind dense pine forests; a winding river glints in the valley as dawn light bathes the scene in warm amber and crimson. The thunderbird's wings are spread wide, each feather detailed and catching the light, eyes bright with power, tail and wing edges sparking faint electric blue lightning. Rich, saturated colors: ultramarine blues, emerald greens, ochres, burnt siennas. The composition places the bird in the upper third, valley receding into the distance, and the overall mood is awe-inspiring and timeless.
