Temple Amid Mangrove Swamp in Watercolor

A tranquil watercolor painting of an ancient temple rising among tangled mangrove roots in a misty swamp at dawn. Soft, translucent washes of emerald greens, teal, and warm ochre. The weathered stone temple is carved with lotus motifs and draped with vines and Spanish moss, partially submerged in water. Reflections ripple on the shallow swamp surface, with knee roots, submerged branches, and floating lily pads. A few herons and dragonflies hover above, while distant branches form a hazy canopy. The scene has an ethereal, impressionistic quality with wet-on-wet textures, delicate paper grain, and moody, diffused light.
