A Small Refuge from Heat
An oversized black tree silhouette stands above warm thermal-colour ground, with a small blue cooling patch beneath its canopy.

Finished editorial illustration, landscape 6:5. One cut-black-paper tree stands left of centre, with an absurdly broad asymmetric umbrella canopy and a short thick trunk. An oblique view of the ground fills the lower two-thirds: broad irregular marker-colour patches translate environmental heat into glowing coral and orange, cooling through pale yellow into one small cobalt-blue refuge directly beneath the canopy. These patches belong to one continuous terrain, not a chart or separate panels. Matte black silhouette with subtly hand-cut edges; loose broad marker fills with slight overlap texture. A thin icy-blue rim on the canopy suggests moonlight against a plain deep-indigo background. Strong thumbnail readability, generous empty space at upper right, playful proportions and restrained detail. No people, aircraft, intricate hatching, scientific diagrams, legends, text, logos or watermarks.
