Time Machine Arrives in a Ghost Town

An oil painting on canvas of a time machine arriving in a ghost town at dusk. The main street is lined with collapsed wooden storefronts, creaking saloon doors, dusty boards and rolling tumbleweeds. In the center stands a gleaming brass and glass time machine with exposed gears and a glowing chronometer, emitting a soft emerald and amber light. Time ripples shimmer around it, bending the air and warping the horizon. In the background, shuttered windows reflect pale ghostly silhouettes. The sky is a moody gradient of deep indigo, copper, and pale lilac as a storm gathers. Thick oil paint textures with visible impasto and brushstrokes, rich earthy tones of ochre and burnt sienna contrasted with cool teal shadows. The composition conveys time displacement with past and future colliding in a quiet western town.
