Tucked In | Original Christmas Sardine Oil Painting

Tucked In

Even sardines deserve a bedtime story before Christmas.

Tucked In is a one-of-a-kind 9 × 12 original oil painting featuring a tiny sardine tucked into a tin-can bed while another fish sits beside it reading a bedtime story.

Set in a colorful little underwater home with a wintry view outside, this painting is equal parts cozy, strange and nostalgic—the kind of Christmas scene that could only happen somewhere under the sea.

Painted with loose, expressive brushwork and bright, playful color, Tucked In was created as part of my Coastal Christmas Collection.

This listing is for the original painting. There is only one.
