Galaxy Over Dwarven Mine: An Oil Painting

An expansive oil painting of a galaxy swirling in the vaulted ceiling of a rough dwarven mine. Thick impasto brushstrokes render the cosmos in electric blues, purples and golds, while warm candlelight and gemstone glow illuminate rugged stone arches, ore veins, and miners in leather and iron armor. In the foreground, stout dwarves pause from their work, torches held high as they gaze upward at the spiraling galaxy that fills the tunnel's ceiling. Dust motes float in the air, and the painterly textures give the scene a timeless, dreamlike quality. The composition contrasts celestial grandeur with gritty subterranean realism, blending fantasy and cosmic wonder.
