Fool's Masquerade

"Fool's Masquerade". The title of a new painting that I have been working on. It is never done until after I put it away for awhile and bring it back out and see it with a fresh eye. Wanting to add to my portfolio of Venetian masks is what prompted me to work on a this new addition. I have been so intrigued with the textures and baubles that accompany these masks of mystery. Being an artist that likes detail, this has been a perfect subject for me to delve into. Hope you like it and any feedback is welcome.

 

AI Effects

 Would you believe that this is my studio?? You see some of my paintings in the background and it looks like me (Although a bit younger looking). Does it look like I live in a French Village? (This is not my studio). This is some of the experimentation I have done with AI. I gave them a photo of myself, images of some of my watercolors and voila! I put in to create a caricature of myself. It came up with something pleasant. I also asked it to make it look like my studio is in France. It also looks like a watercolor. I admit to having used AI for various reasons and it is unnerving to say the least.
