Contemporary Hedgehog Mixed Media Painting

This is a contemporary square-format artwork featuring a whimsical depiction of a hedgehog. The piece appears to be a mixed media work, likely utilizing a combination of acrylic or oil paint with expressive ink-like line work and splattered accents. The hedgehog is central to the composition, rendered with fine, radial lines that create the texture of quills. It features large, dark, expressive eyes and a wet-looking nose, with vibrant, energetic patches of orange and yellow around the face that contrast with the neutral tan and grey background. The foreground is abstractly rendered with horizontal strokes and splatters of white, orange, and black, suggesting a ground or log surface. The artwork is presented in a modern, simple white frame. The brushwork and application of paint suggest a playful, modern style common in late 20th or early 21st-century wildlife portraiture. No signature is clearly prominent in this view, though a mark in the lower left corner may indicate a monogram or professional signature. The condition appears sound with no visible surface cracking or fading, though there is a significant light reflection on the right side of the protective glass or resin coating.
