1. seaCopy

   Use case: illustration-story. Create an original website background, wide landscape 16:9, first scene of a cohesive gentle impressionist painted story called a letter carried by the wind. A pale luminous summer DAYTIME sea, soft sage-turquoise water in lower third, a tiny distant blush peach coastal village and small ivory lighthouse at far right, warm cream clouds dissolving into powder blue sky. Left 60% mostly open quiet sky for dark green title. Very soft French impressionist oil painting: broad broken-color brushstrokes, lost and found edges, hazy atmospheric perspective, milky pastel colors, matte paint on fine linen, understated thin scumbled paint rather than thick sculptural impasto. Low contrast, simplified forms, only hints of architecture. Sophisticated poetic painting, dreamlike but not cartoon. Palette pale celadon, dusty sky blue, ivory, muted apricot, lavender gray. No photorealism, no crisp outlines, no detailed windows, no 3D, no HDR, no saturated turquoise, no harsh shadow, no text, no border. No boats or people; a separate little messenger sailboat will be animated over this background. Peaceful inviting morning light.

   Use case illustration-story. Generate a NEW original wide 16:9 website scene in exactly the soft impressionist style and milky pastel palette of the attached style reference sea. Reference image is STYLE ONLY, change subject entirely. Broad loose broken-color oil strokes, blurred lost edges, low contrast warm daylight, subtle linen grain, powder blue, pale celadon, ivory, dusty apricot, lavender gray. No photorealism, no crisp decorative detail, no heavy sculptural paint, no outlined cartoon, no text. Scene 2 of the letter-carried-by-wind story: an empty sunlit seaside garden, large warm ivory plaster wall and pale lavender shadows fills left 60% for dark text. On right a simple sage-green garden gate left ajar, loose white daisies and muted peach flowers, one small pale blue envelope rests on the stone threshold with a tiny peach wax seal, visible but not oversized. Through gate glimpse the same pale blue sea. Flowers painted as soft spots, no detailed petals. Quiet expectant atmosphere, no people, no boats.

Scene 3: extra WIDE 3:1 seamless panoramic composition, a sleepy coastal harbor, modest blush houses and a small post-office doorway on far left with a simple sage mailbox and NO lettering, quiet pale blue water and distant lavender hills in middle, one simple ivory lighthouse at far right where a ribbonlike line of light sea mist drifts up toward green hills. Room to pan horizontally through painting. Hazy spacious sky covers upper half, buildings only suggested through broad color masses. No people, no boats, no signs or typography. Softest milky morning light, unified airy impressionist painting.

Sea visible as a faint dusty blue band behind far hills. Soft atmospheric daylight. Left half quiet celadon sky/meadow negative space for typography. No sharp architecture, no people, no boats.

Scene 5 story destination: 16:9 a small simple sage-green glass conservatory and garden gate on a tiny floating patch of meadow, right third of frame, among soft powder blue and ivory daytime clouds. Loose white daisies surround greenhouse entrance, one simple empty cream garden chair beside a small table waiting for a letter. A pale blue ribbon is loosely tied to the gate, matching the windmill's ribbon. Left 60% quiet luminous sky for text. Floating island bottom dissolves into haze and clouds, no sharp rock detail, no giant detailed staircase, no people, no boats. Dreamlike and very soft, painted with broken airy brushstrokes. 

6. shipCopy

   Style-transfer edit of attached transparent PNG/WebP boat asset. Keep the input ALPHA CHANNEL TRANSPARENCY of the empty background; output a PNG with transparent background, not any checkerboard drawing. Keep boat silhouette, dimensions, placement and bottom rope attachment. Repaint just the boat with a softer pastel impressionist palette, faded apricot hull, celadon accents, ivory sail with lavender soft shadows. Simplify ornate machinery to quiet brushstrokes and low contrast. Add one pale blue envelope with peach seal on deck. No scenery, no background, no checkerboard, no white backdrop. This is a transparent cutout sprite for compositing on a website.
