Digital painting of a blue sky full of soft, curvy, fluffy clouds, all connected to one another.

We report in the deep afternoon, which is not very deep these days - one step to the side, and the sunset already grabs us by our feet. In the meantime, there is something really good in the clouds today, in their willingness to bloom into the light. We remember why we look up.

Description of this artwork: choppy waters have risen, partly submerging a small grove of leafless, winter trees. Rain is clearly still lashing down. But in the background, on the horizon, there is just a glimpse of light.

Illustration of some dragons based on some fruits. Featured are peach, apple, pear, and banana.
