Shepherds Above the Clouds

A wooden house stands on a rocky ledge above a sea of clouds at dusk, with six rooms for shepherds who tend weather. Upstairs on the left, an old man brushes lambs in a round pen under a wall of stars and sheep. In the rainbow room, a woman stirs paint at a counter while a child holds a card, with dyed cloths on a rack. On the right, two men plan routes with maps and a mountain painting, and a small cloud sleeps by a chest. Downstairs, a bearded elder with a staff watches a tub of fog beside jars labelled Morning Mist and Storm Cloud. In the middle room a man and a girl pour drops along a long table, and in the last a man makes rain in a glass box. The rooms are as different as colour swatches, so each one stands out.
