Prompt
An open shallow wooden cabinet with two hinged painted doors and a frontal scene of rounded hand-modelled paste forms on simple ledges, opaque brush colour, small tool dents and coherent miniature contact shadows, forms reduced to broad masses. Build the scene as a shallow stage of five or six separate paper planes set one behind another, the front plane cut as an open frame, each plane casting a soft shadow on the next, light from one side or glowing from behind a middle plane. The returning son embraced in a wide frame: inside the cabinet a long country road of layered paper planes ending at a stone farmhouse, a father in an indigo robe running down the road to embrace his thin travel worn son in a torn sand coloured tunic, a fatted calf and a long table with lit lamps visible in the background planes.
Light: warm glow from behind the middle plane of the farmhouse windows and soft side light on the figures, opaque brush colour in sand, clay red, olive and indigo, small tool dents in the paste; palette of sand, clay red, olive and indigo; warm, tender, theatrical.
Wide 16:9 frame. A respectful parable scene in a simple ancient setting, figures as plain cut-paper shapes with small painted dot eyes and no glowing eyes, no halos, no lettering or readable scripture, no brand marks, nothing irreverent.
