Submarine in a Glasshouse: Watercolor Dream

Watercolor painting of a vintage submarine resting in a lush greenhouse. A shallow pool surrounds the hull, with rippling teal and green reflections and soft yellow washes. Glass roof and misty daylight filter through, casting dappled light on riveted metal and weathered copper plating. Dense tropical plants—ferns, orchids, philodendrons, and trailing vines—grow over and around the submarine, some curling around the periscope and deck. Water lilies float on the surface; droplets cling to glass and pipes. The scene is a serene, dreamlike fusion of sea and garden, rendered with loose, translucent watercolor brushstrokes, soft edges, and color bleed. Background hints at greenhouse corridors and metal framework, adding architectural texture while keeping an ethereal, painterly atmosphere.
