Late Light and Balcony Mint Tea

An older adult Vietnamese man in a linen shirt trims fresh mint on a tiny balcony, one bare foot hooked comfortably under the chair. A glass teapot and two terracotta pots catch late light. The open doorway reveals only a striped towel and cool interior shadow. Use sage green, pale clay and warm cream, with relaxed hand-drawn domestic detail. Illustrate a quiet everyday scene with one original adult character and a few carefully chosen objects that explain the activity. Use loose fine ink lines, warm paper texture and softly layered color; let some edges remain imperfect. The face and gesture are primary, the room supports them. Maintain believable object scale, limbs and perspective. No copied signatures or text. Generate exactly one finished image. Aspect ratio 3:4.
