Selkie in Mossy Temple Ruins — Watercolor Dream

Watercolor painting of a selkie at temple ruins. A graceful selkie with silvery-blue fur and a human torso sits on mossy stone steps inside an ancient ruined temple facing the sea. A seal skin lies draped over a stone pillar nearby. The temple is half submerged with broken columns, carved faces, and seaweed clinging to weathered stone; waves crash softly beyond the arches. The scene is bathed in pale dawn light, warm golds mixing with cool blues; mist drifts between columns. The watercolor should have soft washes, gentle bleeds, natural granulation, and a textured paper look. Palette includes deep indigo, teal, seafoam green, moss, and warm ochre. Mood is serene, mysterious, and otherworldly. Composition centers the selkie, with the ruined arches guiding the eye toward the sea; subtle reflections shimmer on the wet stones. Optional gaze toward the horizon with calm longing.
