Misty Lotus Pond with Heron at Sunrise

A serene [impressionist oil painting] of a misty lotus pond at [sunrise]. A [great blue heron] stands in shallow water slightly right of center among tall reeds and round green lily pads, with its clear reflected silhouette cast onto the water. Wide horizontal composition featuring [pink and white] water lilies scattered across the foreground and beside the heron, soft ripples, and dense vegetation. In the background, a hazy distant tree line and a graceful willow-like tree with drooping branches and pale pink blossoms adorn the right bank. The sun sits low near the horizon toward the center-left, glowing through clouds of [peach, coral, lavender, and pale blue] and casting a vertical golden reflection across the water. Dreamy pastel palette, loose visible brushwork, painterly realism, soft atmospheric edges, tranquil mood. No text, no people, no buildings.
