A cozy storybook-style countryside illustration at golden-hour sunrise, painted in a soft whimsical digital gouache and watercolor look. Show a small cottage nestled in a lush green valley, with a warm red-orange tiled roof, cream plaster walls, a stone chimney releasing a thin curl of smoke, a tiny front porch, and a small upper balcony. Place the cottage in the lower right area of the composition, surrounded by an abundant cottage garden full of wildflowers and tall grasses. In front of the house, show 1 young girl in a simple light blue dress and apron, gently sweeping the path with a broom. Near the porch, include 1 black cat sitting upright. Beside the path, include 1 small stone well with a wooden roof. On the right side near the house, show 1 laundry line with 2 white sheets hanging to dry. The foreground should be richly framed with leafy branches and flowering plants, especially 2 large clusters of overhanging leaves in the top left and top right corners, creating a natural vignette. A winding dirt path should begin in the foreground, pass by the cottage, and snake into the distance through rolling meadows and forested hills. Fill the midground and background with layered green hills, pine and deciduous trees, soft morning mist settling in the valleys, and distant mountains fading into atmospheric haze. Use warm sunlight streaming from the left, illuminating the grass and rooftops with soft golden highlights, with pastel peach clouds in a pale blue sky. The mood should feel peaceful, idyllic, nostalgic, and magical, like a children’s book landscape. No text, no border, highly detailed foliage, painterly linework, balanced composition, square format.
