Hourglass Heart Over Moonlit Rose Petals

Hourglass Heart Over Moonlit Rose Petals

Create a surrealist oil painting for a vertical 9:16 frame with a towering hourglass occupying the center column from lower third to near the top edge. The hourglass is split into two bulbs where the upper bulb forms a clear glass heart, with its surface catching sharp rim highlights and revealing rose petals beginning their descent. The bottom bulb is already filled with a deep pile of velvet-red petals that mound upward toward the glass walls, while individual petals fall in a slow cascade between bulbs. Keep the background barren and minimal, with a moonlit wasteland stretching behind the glass and a faint atmospheric haze softening the horizon. Use cool silver light from above and slightly to the side to emphasize glass edges and translucent petal layers, with gentle high-contrast shadows beneath the hourglass. Render visible rose-petal texture as soft, velvety folds with subtle specular glints, and keep overall color bias toward deep navy, steel-blue silver, and rich velvet reds.
