Painting of two people sitting at a table having coffee and chatting outside a library. One individual grasps a coffee cup with both hands, while the other leans back in a chair with a backpack at their feet. The library building has a “Welcome” sign on its doors and a bulletin board that reads “Newcomer Classes.” Just off to the side is a free Community Garden Veggies stand where a person is handing a basketful of veggies to an older woman with a cane. There is lush greenery in the background of this scene. The painting has an off-white border around it with the artist’s handle “@creation_wing” written on the bottom right corner.
