Transform the attached photo into artwork in this style: Stained-glass panel.

Essential elements: [subject]
Palette and mood: [palette]

Translate the still life into a luminous stained-glass artwork viewed straight on, filling the image without showing a wall or external frame. Build recognizable flowers, leaves, vase and basket from intentionally shaped glass pieces bounded by slender dark lead-like seams. Let seams follow major forms and avoid arbitrary cracks across petals. Keep foreground pieces larger and readable, with restrained smaller pieces in the background. Use subtly rippled translucent glass, internal color variation and soft transmitted light, never a shiny mosaic of tiny fragments. Preserve the photo's spatial arrangement. No religious symbols, lettering, extra ornaments, starbursts or dramatic lens flare. This is concept art, not a fabrication pattern.

Use the attached photograph as the only visual reference. Preserve its camera viewpoint, major silhouettes, relative positions, and recognizable subject. Simplify fine details without adding objects. Produce only the finished artwork, not a comparison, mockup or framed print. Keep the original landscape aspect ratio, at least 1400 pixels wide. No text, lettering, logos, signature or watermark; omit any signage visible in the photograph.

Example notes and sources

The tulips, vase, bow and basket retain their arrangement, with translucent color and dark seams. The basket and background contain many small divisions; it is not a fabrication-ready glass pattern.
