Sumela Monastery near Trabzon, Turkey, captured on a misty spring morning.

A dramatic watercolour painting of Sumela Monastery near Trabzon, Turkey, captured on a misty spring morning. The ancient stone monastery is built directly into the cliff face of the Pontic Mountains, surrounded by dense pine forest and drifting cloud. The rock wall looms steeply behind, while the trees below are softened by rising mist. Only the façades and carved arches of the monastery are visible through the haze, creating a sense of mystery and reverence. Cool grey rock, forest green, pale mist white, and soft sky blue evoke the sacred silence and dramatic setting of this mountainside sanctuary
