"Still Life From Napavine Spring Ithra 2008", 8x10, painted in oils on canvas panel of a pear, green leaves, purple grapes, toasted bread and a green wine bottle. One of the few traditional paintings I'm kinda proud of.

🧵For example...
A modern female elf wearing an anachronistic ballroom gown adjusts her expensive headphones connected to her mobile device and wears green-tinted glasses. A "No AI" symbol is watermarked in the corner. A red cardinal perches on a snow-covered pine branch as the morning sun filters through a wintry forest. A "No AI" symbol is watermarked in the corner. A female and male viking fight each other with axes and shields in the snowy mountains above the treeline during a snowstorm. A large, fierce god missing one hand and wielding an axe looms over the battle in the background. A "No AI" symbol is watermarked in the corner. A curvy starship drifts toward Jupiter and its moon in deep space. A "No AI" symbol is watermarked in the corner.

Apologies to those who follow me for art - all I want is to make art and write fantasy books. But my country is a wreck and we need to deal with this garbage before anyone can ever trust us again. I hope we are better, and stronger, on the other side. I #hope decency and justice prevails.
