Aurora Fields over a Watercolor Archipelago

Watercolor painting of a tranquil archipelago beneath aurora fields. A panoramic seascape with a handful of small pine-clad islands dotted across a glassy sea. Light mist and wet-on-wet washes create soft, feathered shorelines, rocks, and distant hills. The sky glows with aurora borealis, emerald, teal, violet and pink lights forming flowing curtains and luminous fields that sweep across the heavens and touch the horizon. Reflections shimmer on the water, mirroring the aurora. In the foreground, a grassy shoreline with salt grass; distant birds in flight. The mood is serene, magical, and dreamlike, executed in watercolor with loose, translucent layers and gentle gradients.
