Elderly painter creating a surreal portrait on lake water

It captures a breathtakingly beautiful golden mountain lake landscape. A skilled, long-bearded elderly painter stands on a calm lake submerged up to his waist, wearing a wrinkled, torn light white linen shirt with rolled-up sleeves. Holding a wooden palette filled with vivid paints in one hand and a brush in the other, he is painting; his face reveals deep creative concentration, quiet passion, and silent artistic devotion. The most important detail is that the beautiful young woman in the lake must not appear like a real person lying underwater, but rather like a massive portrait painted directly on the water. Liquid oil paints and pigments seem to float on the surface of the lake, as if the water itself has become a living canvas. Her face resembles a dreamlike painting with clearly visible brushstrokes, distinguished by softly blended paint edges, fluid color bleeding, a subtle canvas-like texture, and distortion effects reflected in the water. At the same time, her face is clear and elegant, possessing a beauty akin to luminous fine porcelain. The milky white skin is rendered like a painting with an extremely smooth and clean texture, a subtle blush, and elegant artistic highlights; the expressive eyes open softly with a calm, emotional gaze; the glossy lips appear relaxed; and the black hair seems to melt into swirling paint and reflections of color rather than appearing as realistic wet hair. The direction in which the woman's face is drawn must be clearly fixed, with the forehead and eyes closest to the painter's brush and the chin and lips further away, creating a visually natural effect as if the painter were drawing the upper part of the face on the surface of a lake. The tip of the brush should touch the drawn forehead and eyes, causing realistic circular waves to spread outward, and rich colors of red, blue, orange, yellow, turquoise, and white should bloom around the portrait, making the entire face feel like a magical watercolor painting rather than a person submerged in water.
