📋 Prompt Natural Language900 characters
A surrealist oil painting, vertical 9:16: a towering hourglass rises from the lower third to near the top edge, centered in frame. Its upper bulb takes the form of a clear glass heart, rim-lit sharply, rose petals just beginning their descent inside it. The lower bulb already holds a deep mound of velvet-red petals piled up against the glass walls, while single petals drift in a slow cascade between the two chambers. Keep the background barren and minimal — a moonlit wasteland stretches behind the glass, atmospheric haze softening the horizon. Cool silver light falls from above and slightly to the side, sharpening the glass edges and translucent petal layers, casting gentle high-contrast shadows beneath the hourglass. Render the rose petals as soft, velvety folds catching subtle specular glints, and keep the overall palette biased toward deep navy, steel-blue silver, and rich velvet red.
