Create a soft, sincere watercolor scene at dusk in a snowy Dutch city:

- Foreground: a Spanish soldier in modern battle dress uniform, unarmed and standing at ease beside a warmly lit Christmas tree. He holds his beret against his chest, a gentle, thoughtful expression. A tiny Spanish flag patch is visible on his shoulder. He’s placing a small red carnation ornament on the tree.

- Midground: a cobblestone square by a canal with narrow, gabled canal houses glowing with warm window light; soft reflections shimmer on the wet stones.

- Background: a traditional Dutch windmill rises beyond the rooftops, softened by snowfall and distance haze.

- Snow: quiet, drifting flakes captured as delicate watercolor splatters; soft mounds on rooftops, tree branches, and the soldier’s shoulders.

- Color palette: cool ultramarine and Payne’s gray shadows in the snow; sap green and muted pine for the tree; warm ochres and siennas for brick; gentle carmine and gold-ochre accents for ornaments.

- Watercolor technique: airy washes, delicate gradients, subtle pigment blooms around the lights, and visible cold-pressed paper texture; soft edges and minimal linework. Keep the soldier and tree slightly crisper than the background for focus.

- Composition: leave generous negative space of pale, misty sky at the top for the headline; place the windmill slightly off-center to balance the soldier and tree.

- Text styling:

- “Merry Christmas” in large, hand-lettered brush script, deep carmine red with a faint ochre glow.

- “Peace, at ease.” small and understated in muted evergreen, lightly letter-spaced to feel calm and dignified.

- Mood: quiet, humble, hopeful; a heartfelt moment of service meeting home for the holidays.
