I overhead a coversation of two cats chatting over morning coffee.
The big Maine Coon cat on the left (Alfredo) has a sarcastic look on his face as though he’s bored with everything. The Rag Doll cat on the right (Louisa) looks a little stuck up and kind of snooty. Alfredo says “Hey girl, have you ever heard of a Rag Doll?” Louisa stares at him in disbelief “I AM ONE YOU BOZO!” What a way to start the day.
Cats are smart and independent as we all know. Here are a couple of buddies discussing what they’re going to do today, as well as life in general.
We dropped by a few weeks later. Check this out!
fyi: I created this little story with prompts and my cat art. When I started putting it together, I had no idea where it was going. All I knew was I wanted a few different breeds of felines and a window with a window sill that I could cover with different fabrics, and a few outdoor views and weather conditions that told different stories. So the teapots eventually became samovars in France??? Doesn’t bother me. I added the idea and the text of Provence because it’s a dreamy place and Freepix offers cool instant graphics. The images become increasingly sophisticated as the story developed. This little story was created in Freepix AI. You can try it out. I’m getting a feel for it. I think with an extended plot , this could become something kind of precious.
Your comments are appreciated and sharing is good too. It’s a new world out there and I’m in because I believe AI can help artists. Even artists like me.👌
As I explore lots of learning challenges in AI, I’m leaning on some of my favorite animals. Today I play with a moose. I’ve never seen a moose in person– in the wild. If you remember the series “Northern Exposure”, I loved the opening where they used quirky music and the big moose walking around downtown Cicely, Alaska. It still makes me smile and the moose always stuck in my head.
Here are three elements of me playing with a moose, to create 2 completely different versions.
I thought this guy was great but wanted to try another version using the same elements but adding a layer of white, to create an intricate texture and a completely different look.
If you look closely, there is an odd set of legs at the bottom of the first two. You might not ever guess they came from this little guy who is a 3rd watercolor, blended into the first 2 images. He’s not a moose at all but I included him in the mix because of the color palette and whimsical nature as a surprise element. So that’s the story of my evolving learning experience today. It’s about having fun with art and whimsical images. I think of it like cooking. The last element is the unidentiful spice that makes the dish amazing.
I have been painting fish, faces, and flowers for a long time. I might have more art supplies than your average art store (just kidding, but it’s close). Some ingredients I use over and over are fish and flowers, fish turning into faces, flowers turning into fish. In this painting the basic shapes of koi and waterlilies are colored with colored pencil. No wonder I’m never bored drawing every day.
Lots of people say it’s a funny thing how pets look like their owners and their owners look like their pets. Do you think Abby and her big laborador retriever look alike? Maybe they just look like they are having fun going on their morning walk. Can you guess where they live?
