The original prompt

Create ONE original finished oil painting for the City after rain website-background collection. This must look unmistakably hand-painted in traditional oil on fine linen: confident visible bristle strokes following form, broken scumbled color in the atmosphere, thin translucent shadow glazes and a few thick impasto light accents. Medium-size gestural marks rather than mechanically repeated tiny texture. Observational urban painting with believable ordinary European stone architecture, coherent receding perspective, roofs, windows and embankments built from simple truthful masses. Restrained slate blue, warm grey, raw umber, muted ivory and small dull amber accents. Wet surfaces have broken irregular reflections, not a polished mirror. Atmospheric distance and edges lost into cool humid air after rain. Quiet, sophisticated and slightly melancholy. The painting itself fills the entire image edge to edge, no photographed canvas, frame, gallery wall or border. Absolutely no photorealism, 3D rendering, game-engine lighting, plastic buildings, artificial bloom, gigantic fantasy skyline, neon, candy colors, HDR, airbrush gradients, watercolor washes or a photo with a painting filter. No readable text, signs, logos, UI, watermark, signature or collage. Negative space must be genuinely painted atmosphere, never a blank panel.

Required aspect ratio: 16:9. Composition: Landscape 16:9 oil painting in a lighter pearl-grey morning treatment of the same rainy river city. Soft grey-violet clouds, ivory mist, pale blue-green river, buildings grouped on lower right in muted oatmeal and raw umber. A low embankment and plane trees are grounded in coherent perspective. Broad spacious sky and water on left, painted with scumbled ivory over cool grey. Faint warmth from one small opening in the cloud, no visible sun, no bright orange sunset. Light-filled but earthy and subdued, real brush strokes and restrained impasto.

The supplied image is only a collection style reference for oil technique, muted palette and level of abstraction. Paint a completely new scene with the requested composition and aspect ratio; do not repeat its bridge, towers, railing or skyline.
