When I asked MidJourney to create these images I asked it to use the style of several different artists that I really like, Maynard Dixon, Edgar Payne, Granville Redmond, William Wendt, and Georgia O’Keefe. I like O’Keefe’s landscapes but am not a huge fan of her flowers and skulls. Not sure what style these five paintings would be labeled with, something like simple realism.





Just got back from Dick Blick which is less than 15 minutes from home. Bought a stretched canvas for each image. When the images were created I specified aspect ratios that are the same as standard stretched canvas sizes.
Next, I need to transfer a drawing of each image to its canvas and then I can start painting. I’ll have ten unfinished paintings.
All I’ll need is the discipline to paint every day. Can’t buy that.
Last night I played with MidJourney for a couple of hours telling it to create simple, modern still life photos. For whatever reason I added a floating striped bass to the mix. I had it create maybe a hundred. I like these three quite a bit. They would be challenging.



I like the 2nd fish picture with the plant in the tall glass.
I kinda like the 3rd fish still life
