Finished hand-drawn marker storybook illustration, portrait 3:4. One chartreuse canary stands on the rim of a horizontal lilac water-valve handwheel mounted on a short pipe. Its comically oversized puffed chest, tiny head, open orange beak and elongated downward tail form a bold asymmetric silhouette. Small feet grip the rim; wings lift slightly as it sings with wholehearted effort. Place the bird and perch below and left of centre, leaving generous open space above and to the right. A single theatrical spotlight enters diagonally from upper right, making a pale lilac pool across the otherwise deeper lilac ground and a simple offset shadow. Broad translucent marker fills, irregular dark-purple contours, minimal feather details, visible stroke overlaps. Clear shapes readable at thumbnail size, playful but physically coherent. No lighting fixtures, extra props, people, musical-note symbols, text, logos or watermarks.
