Paul Kneels in Prayer in the Arabian Desert

Prompt

Galatians 1: "Neither went I up to Jerusalem... but I went into Arabia." After his conversion, Paul sits alone large and central on a rock in the vast Arabian desert, a small papyrus scroll of the Scriptures open on his knees, his face lifted in deep prayer and wonder as he receives the gospel by revelation of Jesus Christ. Golden sandstone cliffs and dunes glow in the clear light of late afternoon under a wide blue sky. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
