Surreal Melting Clocks Desert

Create a dreamlike surrealist oil painting in the style of Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory": a barren coastal desert at dusk with a low horizon, calm blue sea on the left, pale yellow sky fading to blue, and ochre cliffs glowing in the far right distance. In the foreground, place a sharp-edged brown wooden platform extending from the lower left, with one leafless dead tree rising from it. Include exactly 4 visible timepieces: 1 soft blue-gray melting clock draped over the tree branch, 1 pale melting clock sliding over the front edge of the platform with black numbers, 1 white limp melting clock folded over a strange sleeping biomorphic face-like form in the lower right, and 1 orange closed pocket watch on the platform covered with many tiny black ants. Use elongated shadows, smooth realistic brushwork, eerie stillness, distorted forms, high contrast between warm earth tones and cool blue highlights, and a vintage museum-painting texture. Keep the composition sparse and uncanny, with no people, no modern objects, and no readable text beyond clock numerals. Optional customizable details: surrealist_style, sky_color, landscape_setting, number_of_timepieces, foreground_platform_color.
