Cottage in a Space Colony: Oil Painting

An oil painting of a cozy cottage in a space colony: a small stone-and-wood cottage with a thatched-like roof sits in a garden of hardy alien plants, while behind it rise modular habitat domes, chrome corridors, and glass observatories connected by walkways. The scene is lit by warm amber artificial light and cool blue bioluminescent highlights. Thick impasto brushstrokes and rich earth tones (ochre, burnt sienna, umber) blend with sci-fi accents in electric greens and violets. Foreground shows the cottage, middle ground the colony modules, distant stars and a ringed planet visible through a transparent dome. A nostalgic, peaceful mood—a rustic home on the frontier of a high-tech space habitat.
