Shelter, 2025 *Original Art* Tiny Painting

5 in x 7 in

Oil on wood

This whimsical, softly surreal oil painting depicts two white rabbits dressed as quiet sentinels, flanking a striped circus tent that shelters a small, shadowy figure within. Rendered in gentle pastels and textured brushstrokes, the scene balances innocence with unease—playful on the surface, introspective underneath.

The piece explores themes of protection, identity, and the ways objects can stand in for the self. Familiar forms become emotional placeholders, transforming the image into a subtle self-portrait disguised as a fairytale tableau. Ideal for collectors drawn to narrative illustration, dreamlike interiors, and art that invites slow looking.

Perfect for wall art, gifting, or incorporating into a curated collection.
