Rooster in the Hedge Maze - Oil Painting

An oil painting of a dignified chicken (rooster) wandering through a lush hedge maze at golden hour. Tall boxwood hedges rise on either side, with winding gravel paths and glimpses of a distant statue. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting warm highlights and deep, painterly shadows to create a Baroque chiaroscuro feel. The chicken is rendered with iridescent feathers in greens, golds, and russet, using thick impasto brushstrokes to give rich texture. The palette centers on deep greens, olive, emerald, ochre, burnt sienna, and ivory. The composition guides the eye toward a distant vanishing point, conveying whimsy, curiosity, and a touch of mystery.
