Scoops in the Sky

"A sunlit small-city park plaza with cobblestone paths, a low fountain and leafy plane trees framing a bright clearing is presented in a three-quarter view from slightly above eye level, late-morning light casting soft shadows and painterly highlights across the scene. In the foreground a worn park bench sits beside two vintage bicycles, each improbably balanced atop an oversized floating ice cream cone angled toward the viewer as guiding cobblestone lines lead the eye to the fountain; in the midground a couple of pedestrians look up in delighted surprise while the background trees cradle a teacup-shaped hot-air balloon piloted by a tabby cat, its rim-lit silhouette centered slightly to the upper right. Rendered as a vivid, semi-realistic digital illustration with crisp outlines, painterly textures and a saturated, slightly retro palette, the bright highlights on the ice cream surfaces and the gentle rim light on the cat balloon give the scene depth and a whimsical, playful, curiously lighthearted feeling."
