An owl watches over a turquoise chest arranged with books, a wine glass and a glowing candle, while a small mouse works at its easel below. A tall ceramic vase rises beside them, filled with fine branches, pale blossoms and red berries against a deep dark ground. Warm candlelight, expressive acrylic brushwork and rich texture give the scene a quietly curious storybook mood. This distinctive piece would bring character to a study, reading nook or creative space. 33”x35” acrylics on board
