Cursed Amulet by the Rushing River

An atmospheric watercolor painting of a cursed amulet resting on damp stones by a rushing river. The scene uses wet-on-wet watercolor, with soft, bleeding blues and greens of the river blending into a misty shore; the amulet glows with a subtle, eerie amber-green light, its ancient symbols etched in jagged runes. Water swirls around the stones, distorting the air as if the river itself carries a curse. Surroundings include twisted roots, ferns, and overhanging trees under a gray, stormy sky. The composition centers the amulet in the foreground, with the fast-moving river forming a dynamic, energetic backdrop; edges are loose and flowing, with pigment granulation giving texture. Mood: haunted, mystical, unsettled, suggesting an ancient power sealed within the talisman.
