Every Season in One Farmhouse

A farmhouse with a red-tiled roof sits on green hills at sunrise, and each of its seven rooms keeps a different weather or season. Along the top, an autumn room has a vine garland, hanging leaves and a painted map of red trees, where a man and a youth examine a table. A storm room glows purple with lightning, a harpist and a flautist among drums. A spring room is wallpapered in vines and butterflies, where a gardener tends a young plant with two children. Below are a winter room with snowflakes, icicles and a tall drawer cabinet, a rainy room where a woman churns a tub under hanging raindrops, a root-and-seed room with a round sorting table and a telescope, and a summer room of bunting, a sun and a rack of bright coats. The colours separate the rooms like paint chips.
