Michael Cheval style reference and prompts

A lush fantasy painting joins smooth, formal central modeling to densely detailed natural textures. Saturated cobalt and sky-blue form a broad bell-shaped focal mass, embroidered with fine gold and lighter blue curls. Green vertical strokes, tiny warm blossoms, and small pale accents crowd the sides and lower edge, while an airy clouded upper field gives relief. Warm upper-side light lifts the central pale planes and glossy blue folds; foliage-like recesses remain darker. Contours are precise around the main silhouette and miniature details, but the distant field softens into haze. Repeated curving motifs echo broader fabric folds, making ornament and natural growth share a rhythm. The composition is packed yet clearly tiered by scale: one large stable shape, many small surrounding marks, and a quiet far horizon. Rich pigment texture and delicate highlights create a theatrical, dreamlike finish.

A square, fantastical oil-style illustration shows a red-haired woman seated in a meadow wearing an immense blue patterned gown. She faces left in profile, her hair arranged in a braided crown, and wears a pale lace collar rising around the neck and shoulders. The fitted bodice opens into a very wide bell-shaped skirt that fills most of the lower center. Its cobalt and sky-blue fabric is covered in ornate floral and scroll motifs, with glossy folds catching light along the hem. One hand rests on the skirt, while the other extends slightly toward the grasses. At the lower left, a white rabbit crouches near a round gold clock-like object; another small rabbit is partly hidden at the right edge of the dress. Tall green reeds, seed heads, and multicolored flowers rise around the seated figure. Butterflies and small birds cross the cloudy blue sky, and low fields stretch to a pale horizon behind them. The foreground is crowded with leaves, roots, and warm brown earth, each rendered in miniature detail. Light comes from the upper left, brightening the woman's face, lace, and blue skirt while leaving deeper shadow within the vegetation. The palette juxtaposes intense blue fabric with green grasses, warm gold, cream white, and occasional flower reds. The figure's large formal silhouette is deliberately out of scale with the tiny animals and plants, giving the scene a staged dreamlike quality. The composition is dense and decorative, yet the woman's calm profile anchors the abundant surrounding motion.
