The scene the art director wrote
A warm sunset over San Juan port where the Amur River gas tanker waits offshore, as people on the dock look out at the ship, while in the foreground, airline employees and passengers walk near a row of airliners, with a British Airways 777 and an Airbus A320 prominent, under a sky with contrails and a few clouds.
Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received
Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A warm sunset over San Juan port where the Amur River gas tanker waits offshore, as people on the dock look out at the ship, while in the foreground, airline employees and passengers walk near a row of airliners, with a British Airways 777 and an Airbus A320 prominent, under a sky with contrails and a few clouds. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.
