Shinto Shrine — A Little Painting Magic
My original photo had a lot of random people in it. That was authentic, but not the vibe I wanted for my journal entry and accompanying sticker. I started by using the magic eraser to remove people. An oil painting style sticker was a short hop skip and a jump away.

The Rare Beauty Of A Bald Eagle In Unobstructed Flight
Nothing blocking my sight of the eagle, nothing behind him obscuring my view of the eagle or his wings. This felt like a rare, truly beautiful photo. And what a gorgeous sticker AI painted from it!

Mount Fuji — From Photo to Painted Sticker
Getting any picture of the often shy Mount Fuji is hard enough. Getting exactly the photo one wants felt like asking for too much. I was thrilled just to have seen it! Then to turn my photo into a vibrant sticker to celebrate the day with felt perfect, for me.

Pigeon Guillemot Drifting At Sea
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…

Gemini AI dynamic watercolor of a lighthouse from one of my photos

A dynamic watercolor from a photo of a bird using Gemini AI
I like the featured attempt a lot better than this splatter marked one from a second photo from the same series, but that could just be me.

A variety of results all from the same mandala and a few tweaks to a simple prompt
I didn’t ask for much… fireworks, stained glass, suncatcher… the only thing I really changed was the look or medium I asked for and that it be inspired by the mandala I originally included. The one exception was when I tried asking “as seen from a nearby hillside”.

Cozy English Village and Abstract Painting Prompt to Copilot
I don’t know what I actually expected from a prompt that combined the concept of an abstract painting for a request for a cozy English village, but I really like the results Microsoft Copilot came back with. It is recognizable as the little village I wanted, yet not photorealistic or clearly defined… rather hinted at…

AI Art burst of color from a nebula painting prompt
My most frequent prompt may be to generate a painting of a nebula, in this case with a marble style. I gave it a sample palette of colors, and away Microsoft Copilot went.
