A raccoon pauses at the edge of a shallow stream as dusk settles over the water. Painted in the classical realist tradition, the scene uses careful light and depth to capture cool blue shadows across the bank and warm amber highlights along the animal's fur. Four paws steady on the bank, forepaws hovering just above the surface, it stands in three-quarter view while reeds and stones recede softly behind. A quiet, naturalistic study of wildlife at twilight.
