AI does Hazy Moon and Twinkling Stars!

Yes, I'm still trying to get used to nightcafe's AI art creation features. Here's my second-day effort, Hazy Moon and Twinkling Stars. Hope you like it!

Then why don't you join the fun at NightCafe? You might like it, too!

Now here's one of my ~real~ drawings created with Prismacolor oil pencils held in my own hand, a full view of Golden Chanterelles in Moonlight:

Nothing to say about this drawing that I can think of. You?

Veratrum nigrum

Here's a partial version of my rendering of this lovely perennial with the 'fini version' to be uploaded soon. Let's make do 'til then.

Veratrum's berries range in shades of red-brown to black with leafish foliage that's quite lush, as you can see. The usual Silvery Tree Path is in the background. Silvery Tree Path is my first-ever dummy book created for children.

My second offering, Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green was requested to attend an audience at Little, Brown in NYC and made the trip up North and back South to Georgia just fine. But no contract was clutched between his grabby claws yet he was gratified to interview about his Hero's Journey within the walls of such a prestigious and established publishing house.

Lone Critter, did you navigate here from my pages at Gather.com? If so, please leave a comment so I'll know you were about the place, okee dokee?

Else how will I ever know? All attributions are appreciated as well and Link Trades are welcome.

Ruins at Juniper Pass

This drawing is from a rainy night's dream...

Ann, Sybil, and Maeve

This drawing probably belongs more in the Cosmic Persona Designs Gallery but here it is anyway sans Moon...

'Shroom Home by the Lake

This drawing of a 'shroom home is a reject from my first-ever childrens book--or the dummybook actually--called, Silvery Tree Path...just so you know.

Looks cozy if you're elfin-sized or of the fairy persuasion.

Pattillo Reaches the Great Lichen Forest

This drawing is from Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green and shows a scene near the end of the story. You see Pattillo mustering his energy for the final leg of his journey...short little legs and all.

You see, the Great Lichen Forest was an ancient growth and contained within the smaller Blue Tree Forest.

Click on above title to stop by my pages at Gather.com, why doncha? We'll schmooze. Click on My Articles and look for one about Pattillo's dummybook and its journey to New York City...and alas, back home again a mere month or so later...but with a comlimentary Editor's Letter in tow in honor of his valiant exertions.

At www.gather.com, tea or coffee are optional...or as Abraham Lincoln is said to have said so amusingly: if this is tea, bring me coffee. If this is coffee, bring me tea.

The Eye on the Wall

...featuring a coffin excavated from Deir el Balah...Moshe Dayan had a paw in the retrieval and collectorship of 20 of them. This design is a semi-rendition of one of the more anthropoid of the lot--anthropoid because they have human facial features.

Deir el Balah is south of Gaza on the coastal plain. The sarcophagi date to the 14-13th centuries BC, a time when when Egypt's New Kingdom empire may have extended into southern Canaan.

The identity of the residents of these effigies could be anyone's guess but a few of the usual suspects range from military officials, Egyptian civil servants and engineers, and other dignitaries.

I can assure you that the 20 coffins make a solemn assemblage of the first water each with his expressive face in a different pose or style.

Last I heard (my info is from a Biblical Archaeology Review magazine from the July/August 1986 issue...a bit outdated yet valuable as a perspective which one may hear echoing from 1986. It's a fascinating magazine/hardcopy from the past, that's what it is.)

Moshe Dayan, amateur archaeologist and Israeli general, collected many more items than you might think he should have...perhaps you do, perhaps you don't.

But the point may always be made that if Dayan had not had the means and the willpower to do this collecting, the coffins might have been decimated by bulldozers or just never discovered in that sandy old cemetery...these relics are quite older than what most people have truck with in their daily grinds unless you hang with the museum herds which are liable to be grazing about.


Back Then

Dayan's widow was paid 1 million dollars for the Collection thus keeping it intact at the time but that was 20+ years ago, people! Someone get to Googling or ixquicking, ok?

Because I wonder if the Boys are still together? ;D
