A chipmunk sits alert on a branch while a soft green ring turns the background into a calm halo. The coat uses crisp engraved lines that ripple along the back and tail, and tiny highlights around the muzzle add a gentle sparkle. Pine leaves and seeds frame the animal and invite small discoveries on close viewing. The composition reads instantly from across the room and then rewards the eye with layered texture and quiet detail.
This artwork began as a balance exercise between graphic clarity and organic rhythm. I limited the palette to keep the form luminous and uncluttered, letting the circular field act like a visual breath that suggests attention and stillness. The mood is warm and steady, perfect for living rooms and reading corners that need a natural focal point. Digital watercolor layers, hand drawn line work, and subtle paper grain ensure a crisp tactile finish at large scale, delivering a contemporary folk piece with timeless woodland spirit.
