AI Anime rendition of my Granddaughter ....

                                         AI Anime rendition of my younger Granddaughter
 

    Original ...

I am using these as the centerfolds of my annual picture book that I do for my friends who don't get to see what I am up to throughout the year.  As I said on TADD ... this is my first experience with AI and I am loving it 😁

So wishing all of you a wonderful week ... next week will be a zoo as my Son and his wife are leaving for Thailand for the winter and then a few days later I have to address Thanksgiving.  My Granddaughter is staying here this year as she is now in high school and can't afford to do her work in absentia :) So Grandma gets to be in charge (Ha!).  It could get pretty tricky as she now has a boy friend ... a delightful young man, but none the less, a boy friend :0  Until the next time we meet ...

P.S.  So a question for you all ... I would like to know what you think I mean by "From the Sol".  This question came up in a conversation recently and the person I was talking to didn't get it ... Do You?😏

Thursday Art & Dinner Date! ... Smiles

The smiles I enjoyed the most were those of my pets ... they all seemed to be smiling when they were doing something they loved or up to no good :)

In almost every picture I have of Izzi in Agility or Frisbee she wore an obvious smile of joy.  I sure do miss her ...

This is an AI version of my fat cat, Chachi ... he wasn't smiling in the original (see below), 

but I asked AI to add the smile and it turned out great :) 

This is a Fonzi "Gotcha" smile ....

This is the Chachi "Gotcha" Smile ... 

This is a younger version of a Chachi "Going to get you" smile ... 

This is an Aussie AI smiling pup :)

Nicole turned me on to AI and I have had some fun with it.  I approach it cautiously because I don't want to get lazy and start letting AI replace my own creativity ... but I have to admit, it is fun.  I will share more of my AI experiments on FFO :)

So, all for now folks.  We are feeling the cold of winter and I, believe it or not, haven't finished clearing my gardens.  I sure don't know where the time goes ... Already looking forward to Spring😊

Thursday Art & Dinner Date! ... Trains

 TRAINS

I only have one train for you today in an older piece of artwork .  I am back doing another project and my Christmas card, so I am finding it hard to spend time perusing my files for trains, though I know I have pictures of freight trains with graphics painted on the side.  Maybe another time.  Things are busy around here.  My son and his wife are preparing to go to Thailand for the winter and I am going to be the adult in the room for my Granddaughter who, though she is very responsible and independent, she also has a boyfriend now, so ... well, need I say more :) So it has been cold and gray ... very winter like (sadly).  I was hoping we would see a nice Indian Summer, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.  Hope you all are having some final days of fall ... then dress warmly and stay well.

Thursday Art and Dinner Date ... Cold and Rainy

Cold and Rainy

This years Jack O' Lanterns

Can you guess which one is mine?

Here's a hint ...

(My Granddaughter and her boyfriend) 

Cold and Rainy can have it's advantages :)

Sadly it was Cold and Rainy at our Arboretum's annual Pumpkin Patch ...

A little Digital Art ...

  

         It snowed and was freezing on Halloween here.  I don't believe I have seen that happen in all my years.  At any rate, we were left with a lot of candy because we didn't get even one trick or treater.  So my sweet tooth is getting a treat, but my diet is not.  Hope you all had a Happier Halloween :)

This lovely lady was on display at our Arboretum.  I thought of Nicole immediately :)

Thursday Art & Dinner Date ... Halloween Decorations

Halloween Decorations 

 

I didn't have time to go through my files so I took pictures of decorations I saw when I was out and about.  The last picture of the skeletons is my favorite :)  It has been cold and rainy here all week ... I await a nice warm Indian Summer then the plunge into gray days and cold weather and hopefully some snow.   Stay well, my friends ...
