Prompt

A mid century retro futurist illustration painted in gouache for a 1962 magazine. A streamlined monorail curves above a garden city of white towers and green terraces, small families waving from a plaza below, a bubble canopy aircraft in the distance. Warm chalky colour in coral, pale turquoise and cream, confident flat shading, no dirt or wear anywhere, an optimistic clear sky.
