Three Boys Outside a Bookshop Illustration

Prompt
a modern stylized illustration inspired by J.C. Leyendecker & Norman Rockwell of a group of three young Caucasian boys, around 8-10 years old, looking happy, standing on the streets, outside a brick building with a "BOOKS USED & NEW" sign above a storefront window. Behind them, an elderly Caucasian man with white hair and a kind face, wearing a white shirt and a dark apron, looks out from a doorway. The scene is bathed in soft, warm, diffused light, suggesting an afternoon. The atmosphere is one of youthful innocence and mild mischief, with a hint of regret or worry on the central boy's face. The painting style is realistic, with visible brushstrokes and a rich, muted color palette of earthy tones, brick reds, and faded blues and yellows. The composition is focused on the interaction between the boys, rendered in a painterly, graphic novel style
