A photo of a children's activity on a purple floor covering. A man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a repeated white pattern sits at left, painting or drawing on a sheet of white paper with a brush. Three boys in white shirts and purple caps bend over the paper, one cap reading "I MEDITATE TO FEEL YOU" and another with a similar slogan. Small paint pots, a dish of brown paint, a yellow box, and scattered paper and crayons lie on the floor. The scene has a casual, hands-on craft feel.
