Pastoral Cow Collage Diptych

Prompt

Goal: Create a vertical editorial collage image about a quiet pastoral afternoon, combining a realistic landscape photograph on top with a minimalist paper-and-ink collage illustration below. Canvas: Portrait format, approximately 3:4 ratio. Divide the image horizontally into two equal sections with a clean straight boundary: the top half is a full-bleed realistic countryside photo, the bottom half is an off-white textured paper collage composition. Top section: Show a bright green rolling pasture under a vivid blue sky with large soft white cumulus clouds. Place exactly 11 black-and-white Holstein cows across the hill: 1 partial cow silhouette at the far lower-left edge, 2 grazing cows close together on the left, 1 standing cow near center-left, 1 dark grazing cow just behind it, 1 distant cow on the center horizon, 1 dark cow near the upper middle, 1 grazing cow right of center, 1 small distant cow on the upper-right horizon, 2 cows close together on the right, and 1 partial cow cut off at the far-right edge. Use natural daylight, gentle shadows, and a calm open-field atmosphere. Bottom section: On warm ivory watercolor paper, create a sparse mixed-media collage centered slightly below the middle. Include exactly 1 black-and-white Holstein cow grazing on a small torn green grass-paper strip. Behind it, layer exactly 2 torn paper shapes: 1 pale beige rectangular scrap with faint illegible handwriting and 1 irregular sky-blue cloud-shaped scrap above it. Add loose black pencil grass scribbles and thin horizontal sketch lines around the cow, plus a simple thin vertical-and-horizontal line marker on the right with a few tiny ink speckles and pale translucent tape rectangles. Text content: Add exactly 4 small text elements in the bottom collage: on the right, three stacked lowercase words with periods, “grass.”, “wind.”, and “quiet.”; at the lower left, handwritten cursive text reading “a long afternoon”. Keep the text small, understated, and slightly imperfect. Visual style: The top half should feel like clean rural photography; the bottom half should feel like a delicate scrapbook reconstruction with torn paper, watercolor wash, pencil marks, negative space, and Japanese-zine-inspired minimalism. Use soft natural colors, quiet mood, no people, no extra animals beyond the counted cows, no frame, no watermark.
