The Tall Bean
A towering rust-red kidney bean rests upright in a squat cream carton against a sparse slate-blue background.
Small 427×640, Medium 800×1200
Finished editorial oil painting, 2:3 portrait, deliberately simple, with broad opaque colour shapes and loose dark contours resembling hand-drawn marker strokes. One enormous, unusually elongated rust-red kidney bean stands upright inside a tiny squat cream cardboard carton, leaning gently left. Preserve the bean's recognizable curved kidney silhouette, deep side indentation and one small pale hilum. The open carton has two short flaps and a dark interior; no other beans. Place the arrangement slightly right of centre in the lower two-thirds, leaving generous empty space above and left. Flat slate-blue background, steel-gray tabletop indicated by one horizontal edge. Soft light from upper left, one broad shadow, quietly mysterious but playful. Minimal brush texture, no intricate hatching or photorealism. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
