A hyperrealistic, detailed painting of Gandalf the Grey from the chest up, with an intimate, cinematic focus. He gazes warmly into the viewer's eyes, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, exuding an aura of wisdom. His hand is raised and open, fingers gently curled as he conjures an ethereal, fiery phoenix made of fireworks and smoke, hovering just above his palm. The phoenix is intricately detailed, its form crafted from vibrant, swirling fire and delicate smoky wisps. It appears alive, its body gracefully coiling in mid-air, each feather flickering with fiery shades of deep orange, crimson, and gold. Its eyes burn intensely as tiny sparks fall from its open beak, casting a shifting light that illuminates Gandalf’s face and hand. Smoke spirals from its wings and tail, giving it a ghostly quality. The rich, dark blue background fades into shadow, making the glowing phoenix stand out vividly. Soft, volumetric lighting highlights Gandalf’s hand and the phoenix, with light reflecting off magic dust particles in the air, adding depth to the scene. The phoenix's smoke and fire seamlessly blend, with shimmering trails that drift away like sparkler remnants, creating a sense of movement and awe. Gandalf’s robes and hand are warmly lit by the dragon's glow, with subtle textures enhanced by the contrast of light and shadow. The painting captures an enchanting moment of magic, with each flicker of the phoenix’s fiery form and each smoke tendril rendered with lifelike precision, creating a mystical, cinematic scene.
