Mermaid in a Watercolor Botanical Garden

A watercolor painting of a mermaid perched on a mossy rock at the edge of a tranquil pond inside a lush botanical garden. Soft, bleeding washes (wet-on-wet) in emerald greens, turquoise water, and blush pinks. The mermaid's tail shimmers with iridescent emerald, teal, and lavender scales, and her long hair drapes among orchids and ferns. Surrounding flora includes tropical plants, water lilies, lotuses, ivy, and delicate blossom petals floating on the pond. Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, casting golden highlights on water and stone with gentle reflections. The scene is serene and magical, rendered in an impressionistic watercolor style with fine detail on the tail scales and flowers.
