The One That Got Away
Painting
A quiet lake in the dead of night, mist curling above still water. Two anglers sit in a small boat, lines cast, unaware that the rules of reality are shifting above them. A UFO hovers, glowing softly, beams of light wrapping around a fish, lifting it skyward.
The painting blends earthly serenity with playful astral interference: the mundane act of fishing intersects with the fantastic, a reminder that wonder and whimsy are always just above the horizon.
