Some purple asters in some green hills or bushes or something, with orange fall trees, and a starry sky background, also a single bee on one of the flowers. I imagine this is a calm place with cool night air.

I had an idea to make a picture of asters like this last fall, but didn't get around to it. A few days ago, I got Wordle in 1 with my starting word, ASTER (while asters were blooming!), which inspired me to actually get around to making this now.

I wanted to make something based around secondary colors, and I constrained myself to only using three different hues for everything. (Blossoms has a similar constraint, but in that one I used a different hue for the sky than for everything else blue.) The sky is dark purple, and the stars are light orange, which happens to be similar to the conlang flag, though that's just a coincidence.

I put some star shapes in the trees and ground to continue the star motif, and made the leaves star-shaped (together with the stars in the background and the flowers named after the word for star). My style isn't that photorealistic, so I'm thinking maybe adding nonrealistic details like this could make my pictures more interesting. This particular thing feels kind of Kirby-ish to me.
