About the art: the AI bot loves the Queen of Hearts. It has a way of making her quite frightening and imposing, if you give it enough words. Beginning with a soft pencil grid and adding a rough sketch, I placed a wash of thinned oil paint on the background. Then working from the face outward and gradually deepening the darks, making sure to keep blending the colors enough to mute them into this rather renaissance color palette. Ending with the hair, which was created with very thin paint and a round brush lightly held near the long end, dragged and rotated simultaneously to create a dreadlock/coil effect. She's beastly, and I kind of adore her.

DOTTY! Omg we were in the same headspace! ha ha! I love that! And a deck of cards? Like playing cards? Art cards? I am intrigued by the idea... 6/19/2023 04:00:25 pm
Playing cards! But, hmm, not a standard deck of 52 … or maybe 52 cards, but not w standard suits, #s, and jacks, queens, kings. Maybe more like tarot cards, with an image on each face, and some kind of uniform pattern on the back of each. The cards need to be handled! I can already feel them in my hands. Maybe I deal out 5, turn them face up, and 'read' them to myself, see what story or inner voice/wisdom makes itself known.

Love your adventure! Everyone has their "rabbit hole" and the little daemon's that lurk in every corner. Some I allow in my studio, and some not. Hard work to get them out sometimes! Go for a deck!

Carol! Oh gosh, getting the little daemons out of the corners is sometimes a herculean task! This stern queen makes me giggle and helps me banish her to the outer reaches of the kingdom. xo

Molly!!!! Ha ha! You have me smiling. I would expect no less from you, fierce human! "Sidewalk-superintend" - what a great phrase! Those "inner yahoos" don't dare mess with you. xo Leave a Reply. |
