Years on the Park Bench

Finished editorial illustration, square 1:1. Textured digital painting using expressive hand-drawn marker-like brushes, broad translucent fills and loose contours. In a quiet park, one exaggeratedly long wooden bench stretches across the lower-left foreground on tiny dark feet, its tall back gently bowed. Sun-bleached ochre slats have softened corners and just three broad patches of worn green paint; no detailed wood grain. A pale path curves behind it through sage-green lawn toward the upper right. One cropped tree at the right edge has a short trunk and an oversized asymmetrical canopy. Warm afternoon light, a simple soft shadow beneath the bench, muted olive, ochre and cream. Slightly elevated three-quarter viewpoint. Keep the bench dominant and the upper-left area spacious. Simple legible silhouettes, subtle pigment texture, no intricate hatching. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
