Cars are parked near a sunny beach where people stroll and relax under blue skies. Palm trees and a small building sit on the sandy area, with the ocean in the background.
Dr. William Maughan

A large tree with cascading branches casts shadows over a serene pond, with part of a large structure, resembling the Eiffel Tower, visible in the background. The setting is lush and peaceful.

Streetcars move down a busy urban street lined with tall buildings. Brightly colored cars and pedestrians populate the scene, creating a vibrant city atmosphere in soft, painterly brushstrokes.
