An old painter on a wooden ladder painting stars

Prompt

An illustration depicting an elderly street cleaner standing on a tall ladder reaching toward the sky on an empty night street. He holds a can of white paint in one hand and a thin paintbrush with the other, as if painting a multitude of bright stars across the sky, as if embodying the dreams of people sleeping in their homes. He has a dreamy expression, with a slight hint of melancholy. He is dressed in a shabby, orange-colored work vest and a tattered cap. He is slightly hunched and stooped. We see him from behind, looking up. The street is completely empty, the streetlights have long since gone out, enveloping it in darkness and shadows. The scene is dimly lit with a cool, dim light, creating a serene, dreamlike atmosphere, like a forgotten, deep, [censored] slumber. Cinematic perspective and angles. A multi-layered oil painting executed with expressive and slightly chaotic, textured brushstrokes of varying sizes.
