As always, this is full of color and life, Mark! It really does have that delightful, painterly look - and it's wonderful! And this, THIS is how the AI should be used - in my humble opinion (which with rising inflation, and cost of living, is now worth about 0.06257 cents.). It should be part of a tool-set, and used in PART of an image. This is a perfect example.

Anyway, it's really good to see your delightful and colorful art again, Mark! I hope all those nasties that have been pestering you will leave you alone and go bother someone else (like maybe that blonde-wigged, loony orange dude... 😂).

Hope you're staying cool in this bloody heat-wave, buddy! My backyard is a jungle, but it's going to wait 'till it's somewhere below 100+ degrees. I think I just saw a kangaroo with a water bottle out there....

Take care, and stay creative! And cool.

LOL! If your opinions are worth .06257 cents (which I believe is Use Tax, in Illinois), mine's worth half that much. You always say---when speaking of your mind---"what little there is left of it"...well I just passed a dumpsite and found bits of my brain AND yours, sitting by a rusted car. But hey---your brain is 1000% in my book, sir! And thank you for your comments, always, and I hope the heat out there lifts soon. (We've been soooooooo lucky in chicago, it's been a cool summer. I feel I owe all of you some air...) If you find brontosauri in your lawn, it's time to move...

(The sad thing is, I just discovered that I'm 2/3 AI. I'm just trying to figure out which 2/3 they're talking about...and who has the prompts...)

i agree with Rod my friend. you never fail to amaze your followers with your unique style. love the African style color palette in this. 5++

This part AI, human collaboration art work turned out so well for you Mark, I like it! Its done in your own unique style...there is something to be said about combining AI and blending your own artistic style together can often lead to wonderful results!

Its great when an artist can personalize and brand their own style into something created with AI. I believe going forward this collaborative method will become more acceptable in most artistic communities as time goes on.

Its always a pleasure to view your art work, you have my best wishes for a great day my friend! :-)

Fabulous work! This looks great. The face is beautiful and I love the bright background that makes the face pop. The green plants make the heat of the orange cool down so the scene looks like a beautiful sunset. I like this a lot.

This is really exceptional artwork. Brilliant.

Brilliant piece of your artworks!
