Moss branch sleeper

THE PROMPT

A single red squirrel sleeps curled across a thick moss-covered branch, its long tail wrapped loosely behind its back and one small paw tucked beneath its muzzle. The branch runs diagonally from the lower left toward a deep green fern thicket. A few faded red leaves rest in the moss and catch narrow warm highlights. Close side view, the animal offset to the upper right, with a broad shadowed woodland background and richly painted fur, bark and velvety plant texture. Visual medium: Traditional narrative oil painting, rich dark glazing, soft visible brush marks, carefully lit animal faces and tactile painted fur. Palette: warm umber, faded red, deep green. Lighting: soft side light entering a dark fern thicket. All human or humanlike figures are clearly adult and fully clothed. Original character and object designs. One coherent finished image, with no added lettering, logos, signatures or watermarks.
