Griffin at the Salt Flat - Watercolor Dream

An elegant griffin with a lion-like body and an eagle's head stands on a salt crust that stretches to the horizon. This watercolor scene features soft washes and edges that bleed into a pale sky, with delicate textures on the glittering salt. The flat's surface reflects a subtle, cool light; distant mountains fade into a blue haze. Warm ochre tones contrast with cool blues as the griffin's feathers and fur catch the light. Wings are partly unfurled, feathers rendered with translucent layers, while a gentle breeze stirs the scene. The lighting is late afternoon golden hour, creating long shadows and a faint pink wash. The mood is serene, surreal, and painterly, with a dreamlike atmosphere.
