Marsh in a Skyscraper Atrium (Oil Painting)

An expansive marsh scene rendered in thick oil on canvas, set inside the glass-and-steel atrium of a towering skyscraper. The marsh features gleaming pools, reed beds, cattails, and tangled grasses, with rippling reflections on the water. Surrounding the wetland, modern architectural elements loom: vertical concrete and glass walls, steel beams, and distant office floors seen through the glass. Sunlight pours through a skylight, casting a warm, golden glow and long reflections on the water surface. The painting uses lush greens, ochres, and deep blues, with heavy impasto and visible brushstrokes to convey texture—the marsh appearing vivid and alive against the cool urban geometry. A few ducks drift on the pond; subtle mist softens the horizon where city silhouettes meet the marsh. The mood is surreal and contemplative, a poetic clash between nature and high-rise civilization, in an oil painting style.
