Prompt notes

✍️ The key light is that window — the side-back position is exactly what catches the sheen on the waffles and the shine on the braid ribbons. The TV's glow is just fill; if the client thinks it's too dark, they'll probably ask for another light anyway.

📋 Prompt Natural Language

A realistic painting of a little Mexican girl at the dining table in 1989, caught side-on as she's about to dig into a plate of waffles, a glass of orange juice and a glass of milk set beside it. Her long black braided hair is parted and clipped with pink balls and ribbons, small gold hoop earrings catching the light, her purple shirt and shorts simple against the wood-paneled room. Window light falls soft across the table, a vintage china display case standing behind her and a small TV glowing faintly in the distance. Fork in hand, she looks straight at the camera and smiles.
