The Neighbourhood Pot
Two differently proportioned neighbours stir and add vegetables to an oversized turquoise soup pot at a simple outdoor cooking table.

Expressive oil-painted editorial illustration, landscape 4:3, using broad opaque colour shapes and loose dark contours with the simplicity of hand-drawn marker art. At one neighbourhood courtyard cooking table, two neighbours prepare a shared soup. A lanky figure in red leans in from the left, stirring a comically wide turquoise pot with one long wooden spoon. A broad, squat figure on the right tips a small bowl of orange vegetable chunks into the same pot. Distinctive asymmetric silhouettes, minimal faces, simple mitten-shaped hands. The pot is the clear focal point, resting on a plain portable burner. Deep purple nighttime background; one pale diagonal sweep of light crosses the table like passing headlights from outside the frame. Sparse oil-brush texture, no intricate detail. Keep the upper quarter spacious and the setting barely indicated. No extra people, visible cars, text, logos or watermarks.
