A House Full of Stars and Moons

Nine rooms in three rows make up a house devoted to the night sky. At top left, a robed host serves food from an oval counter under a painted mountain skyline. Beside it, two dancers waltz across a floor of orbit rings beneath hanging planets, and a telescope stands in a glass case while two people study star charts. In the middle row, a man stitches a star quilt below a drifting comet, a botanist with a magnifying glass inspects leaves around a glowing purple crystal fountain, and a blacksmith shapes a glowing ring on a twisted anvil. The bottom row has a traveller at an octagonal wooden booth under paper moons, a baker shaping dough by a brick oven, and a postman beside a tent of parcels with bluebirds overhead. The blue rooms and the warm ones alternate like a patchwork.
