The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A bare branched tree drawn as a fine stippled silhouette against a smooth gradient running from deep magenta through orange into blue, the entire surface carried on a heavy visible grain. One tiny figure standing beneath it for scale. No ground detail, no horizon line, no other element in the frame. The image works as a shape against a field of colour.
