Prompt: Original 1536x1024 horizontal 3:2 editorial serigraph for the jazz tune i ve got my love to keep me warm. A cozy small room in winter, anonymous guitarist beside a warm stove, geometric snow visible beyond the window. Match the Stage 6C visual vocabulary: bold simplified angular silhouettes, asymmetrical negative space, flat limited ink palette of burnt orange, forest teal, butter yellow and ivory, rough ink edges, tactile paper grain, restrained whimsical mid-century shapes. Handmade silk-screen print, crisp graphic design, no gradients, no photorealism, no text or lettering, no border. Entirely original scene, no claim of historical event. Keep all heads and musical instruments inside frame.
