lies the second image: the magical world of his childhood prompts

Create an award-winning oil painting titled When the Dragons Sleep, a beautifully haunting double exposure composition inspired by the song Puff the Magic Dragon. The outer scene shows a grown man standing alone on a foggy shoreline, where waves gently lap against driftwood and forgotten toys. His posture is heavy with memory, shoulders slightly hunched, hands in his coat pockets, staring across the sea with longing in his eyes. Within his silhouette, painted in glowing, ethereal tones, lies the second image: the magical world of his childhood. A boy and a great, gentle dragon soar through golden skies above Honalee, flying over meadows, castles made of clouds, and a sparkling sea. Puff is joyful and noble, his wings trailing stardust, while the boy—carefree and smiling—rides with arms outstretched in pure delight. The outer world should be rendered in cool, misty greys, pale blues, and muted sand tones, while the inner world bursts with whimsical color—emerald greens, rose-gold skies, lavender shadows, and soft rainbow hues. Use expressive, nostalgic brushwork that lets the inner world feel dreamlike and fleeting, like it's being remembered through tears. This painting should evoke a deep emotional pull, balancing childlike wonder with the pain of growing up and letting go. A masterpiece that speaks to the invisible magic of childhood, and how—even when forgotten—it never truly disappears.
