The scene the art director wrote

A dark storm cloud gathers over a crowded street in San Juan, where people hurry for cover, while a restaurant owner in the foreground proudly displays a seasonal fruit, and a museum in the background offers a warm glow of free cultural activities.

Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received

Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A dark storm cloud gathers over a crowded street in San Juan, where people hurry for cover, while a restaurant owner in the foreground proudly displays a seasonal fruit, and a museum in the background offers a warm glow of free cultural activities. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.
