A surrealist painting in the style of Salvador Dalí, depicting a landscape with a barren tree and melting clocks. The setting is a desolate, coastal, desert or arid landscape at sunrise or sunset. Colors are muted, with earthy tones of browns, tans, and yellows dominating the foreground and midground, transitioning to hazy blues and soft oranges in the sky. There are craggy, muted yellow-brown cliffs in the distance reflecting in the still water. Melting pocket watches and a hanging clock, with distorted time indicators, are scattered throughout the scene. The style is not photorealistic, but rather expressive with soft edges and exaggerated time distortions. The melting watches and the tree are the prominent elements. There's an overall sense of time distortion, dreaminess, and mystery. Focus on the fluidity and dreamlike qualities of the melting timepieces and the evocative tones of the desert landscape and sky. Include the reflections of the mountains in the water.
