I was inspired by album art by the band Surfaces. I liked the way their album art had soft pastel colors and the depth it always presented. I started with the background mountains, trees, and roads first. It took me a while to make all the trees because I had to layer triangles, and the car took a lot of time to accurately have all the car parts move with respect to mouseX. If you click, the headlights thickness will increase, and the color of the sun will change. If you move mouseX, the car will move. If you move mouseY, the clouds will move, the background sky color will change, and the sun size will change.
