Urban Oasis / Oil On Canvas Painting

Urban Oasis ​Technique and Medium: This is an intimate, one-of-a-kind original oil painting. The work is executed in high-quality traditional oil paints, applied to a cotton canvas that has been expertly mounted and stretched over a rigid hardboard panel. This technique provides the rich texture of canvas with the stability and durable support of a solid, flat surface, making it ideal for the small, refined scale of the piece. ​Dimensions: ​Metric: 20 \times 15 cm ​Imperial: approx. 7.9 \times 5.9 inches (often rounded and listed as 8 \times 6 inches in cataloging) ​Description: "Urban Oasis" captures a moment of tranquil escape within the vibrant, bustling environment of Miami Beach. Focusing on Collins Canal, a historic waterway that winds through the heart of the city, the artist has rendered a peaceful, shaded nook. A rich canopy of lush, tropical trees frames the scene, their green foliage casting cool, deep shadows over the ground and stones. The water of the canal itself is a calm, radiant emerald-green, reflecting the quiet and the sunlight. This delicate miniature provides a rare, personal view of the hidden natural beauty that coexists alongside the urban Miami landscape, offering the viewer a breath of serentity. ​Investment Art: A unique, 1-of-1 original painting by Jenny Shirokih (2025).
