The Midnight Menagerie: An Original Acrylic on Canvas Product Description

Step through the veil and into a clearing where the moon never sets and the forest floor hums with ancient magic. "The Midnight Menagerie" is a vivid, textured window into a dreamscape, hand-painted with high-pigment acrylics on a sturdy 8x10 canvas panel.

​This piece captures the quiet tension of a secret world. Beneath a sky heavy with cream-colored stars and a glowing, cratered moon, a dense wall of teal-tinted evergreens stands watch over a surreal garden. Here, terracotta star-flowers bloom alongside silver-stemmed fungi, all observed by a silent, obsidian-black feline—the guardian of this starlit sanctuary.

​Why it belongs in your collection:

​Whimsical Energy: Perfect for adding a touch of cottagecore or "dark-fairytale" charm to an office, reading nook, or bedroom.

​Tactile Artistry: The heavy acrylic application creates a beautiful physical texture that catches the light differently throughout the day.

​A Story in Every Stroke: From the rhythmic needles of the pines to the secretive gaze of the hidden cat, this painting invites you to get lost in its details.

Artist’s Note

​"I wanted to capture that specific feeling of a forest at 2:00 AM—when the world feels like it belongs entirely to the creatures we don't see during the day. It’s a tribute to the quiet watchers and the vibrant life that thrives in the shadows."

Ready to Frame: The slim profile of the 8x10 panel fits perfectly into standard frames or looks stunning displayed on a tabletop easel.
