Pilot in a Zen Temple: Watercolor Meditation

Watercolor painting of a pilot in a tranquil Zen temple. The pilot wears a vintage leather flight jacket and goggles, standing near a low wooden altar or seated on a tatami mat, holding a helmet in one hand. Soft incense smoke curls through the air as gentle light filters through shoji screens and wooden beams. The temple features tatami flooring, hanging scrolls, a bonsai on the altar, and a small water basin. Use loose watercolor washes with wet-on-wet blending, a muted palette of blues, greens, warm ochres, and subtle gold highlights to evoke a calm, contemplative mood. The image should feel painterly and ethereal, with soft edges and visible brushwork.
