Prompt
Create an image of Cormac McCarthy, an American novelist, sitting at a worn wooden desk with a pen in hand, surrounded by papers and books, with a backdrop of a desert landscape, reflecting his affinity for the American Southwest and his literary themes of human existence, violence, and redemption. Depict him with a contemplative expression, wearing a pair of glasses and a simple, rustic outfit, capturing his introspective and reclusive personality. Incorporate subtle hints of his literary works, such as a faint image of a border town or a lone cowboy, to reflect his notable writings on the human condition. Render the image in a muted, earthy color palette with bold brushstrokes, echoing the literary style of his writing.
