Watercolor Mongoose in a Sunlit Botanical Garden

Watercolor illustration of a mongoose in a lush botanical garden. Soft translucent washes of green and emerald create a sunlit foliage backdrop, with delicate pink and violet blossoms. The mongoose walks along a mossy path, its fur rendered in light, textured brushstrokes that convey movement and a gentle sheen. Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, creating shimmering reflections on a nearby pond and subtle color bleeds at leaf edges. The scene is airy and tranquil, with wet-on-wet blending and fine details on the mongoose's whiskers and eyes to convey alert curiosity.
