Photo to painted postcard

Keep one photograph as direct evidence above, then repaint the same moment below as a quiet source-led post-impressionist oil postcard.

Create one independent vertical 2:3 art postcard poster from exactly one supplied photograph. Never combine uploads and never output a multi-photo collage.

Use a 2:3 canvas split cleanly at the midpoint: upper photo record, lower art postcard; no extra band.

In the upper half, use the supplied photograph directly. Preserve composition, subjects/count/action, spatial relationships, color, light, weather, and texture. Use proportional crop or fit only; no outpaint, repaint, recolor, oversaturation, cinematic filter, stretch, warp, mirror, or background redesign.

In the lower half, place one level, upright horizontal art postcard at about 60% of the lower area, centered or gently offset, flat with a light shadow. Use clean white, cream, ivory, or pale warm-grey stock with subtle fiber or linen texture and generous margins; no dirt, damage, heavy frame, tilt, oversize, or desk-snapshot perspective.

Redraw the same moment inside the card as a full post-impressionist impasto oil painting, not a filter. Preserve core subjects, silhouettes, positions, people count/poses, and story so the same tree, building, road, water, sky, or person appears in both halves. Use thick directional strokes, flowing marks, layered color, pigment, and canvas texture; let natural movement guide clouds, trees, water, roads, and ground while people and architecture stay steadier.

Let the photograph set palette and light. Enrich its hue family with adjacent colors, warm-cool shifts, value changes, and layered paint, but never force a blue-yellow or orange template. Keep its time and weather intact; do not invent moon, stars, a season, or extra people. Use post-impressionist energy without copying a named painting's composition.

In postcard whitespace, generate a concise English title of four words or fewer in small uppercase serif type and one very short subtitle, unless overrides are supplied. Keep type subordinate and away from faces or structural focal points. Return one clean poster only.

No multi-photo collage, multiple outputs, unequal or fragmented layout, third band, upper-photo repainting, AI outpainting, altered people, extra people, changed poses, stretched or warped source, recolored photo, oversaturation, cinematic filter, generic blue-yellow or orange treatment, invented moon, stars, sunset, night, or season, oil filter, photo overlay, smooth digital illustration, 3D render, copied specific Van Gogh composition, tilted or distorted postcard, dirty card, heavy frame, heavy shadow, crowded decoration, oversized title, long text, slogan, logo, signature, watermark, UI, or unrelated scene.
