There are times when it is tempting to say “AI saw the same thing I did in the original photo, and expressed it in the resulting painting/sticker.” But that doesn’t take into account the detail of the prompt or the thought that went into it.

In this case, I told Gemini AI what I saw in the original photo, and wanted to still see in the resulting painting.
My prompt:
Craft a watercolor painting that captures the zen-nature of this moment of calm seas, peacefulness, and chosen isolation by a pigeon guillemot
