Vertical Painted Desert Swirls Rising Toward a Burning Sky

Design a 9:16 portrait artwork for a vertical social story, showing painted desert swirls rising from the bottom edge toward a dramatic glowing horizon. Stack several S-shaped bands in vermilion, saffron, plum, turquoise, and pale rose, with the narrowest curves near the top creating visual lift. Use a close ground-level viewpoint so the foreground reveals coarse sand grains and thick, dry-brushed pigment ridges. Let the central swirl remain vertically aligned, framed by empty atmospheric space and a slim strip of luminous sky. Golden-hour light should create warm highlights and cool violet shadows, while distant mesas dissolve into haze. The composition must feel immersive, handcrafted, and distinctly desert-based, with no text, figures, branding, or watermarks.
