Kelpie in a Watercolor Hedge Maze

Watercolor illustration of a kelpie, a horse-like water spirit, in a hedge maze. A hidden pool glimmers at the center as tall, mossy hedges coil into a labyrinth. The kelpie stands at the water's edge, its mane and tail made of curling ribbons of liquid blue and silver, softly catching the light. Use wet-on-wet watercolor with delicate color bleeds; palette of emerald greens, teal, cobalt, and hints of gold from dappled sunlight. The scene is dreamy and slightly mysterious, with diffuse light filtering through leaves, gentle mist, and a painterly, textured paper grain. Compose with a low-angle view along a winding path toward the pool, the hedges forming arches that guide the eye to the kelpie and water reflections.
