An Incredible Poppy Makes A Brilliant Sticker
I am never satisfied with the detail I get on deep red flowers. I feel my camera struggles to capture everything my eye sees. I was delighted when AI’s painting brought out the texture and detail of the petals on these flowers, it was a confirmation this poppy was a good choice to convert into…

From Simple Garden Flowers To Dynamic Painting
As much as I loved this photo out of the camera, AI turned it into an even better sticker with only a few minor tweaks. Converted into a painting, and a few dead blooms pruned, and voila!

Shinto Shrine Sticker Fun
This view of the gate for the Shinto Shrine, with a wood plaque with Kanji on it in the foreground felt like it captured the feel of the sight — both the architecture and “not in America” when I took the photo. For my journal sticker I wanted to feed into that traditional feel, have…

Shinto Shrine Roofline Detail
There is amazing artistry and detail in the roofs of the shrines, temples and cathedrals around the world! Time and again, they are a great place to see art and craftsmanship. I experimented with asking for a watercolor painting since that is a medium I often think of for Japanese art. The AI color balanced…

A Harbor View With The Cruise Ship At Anchor
Sometimes I get a photo that is really close to what I want to put in my journal, but not quite. More and more, those get turned into stickers. Here I was able to pull out what called to my heart as I took the photo, reminding why I had stood there and pulled out…

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…

Common Merganser — A Duck in Sitka
I have been attempting to learn more about recognizing birds when I see them. Part of how I have been doing that is photographing them, identifying them when I get back, then labeling them in my journals… but my photos aren’t always the best. Birds tend to be on the move — a fun photography…

Gemini AI dynamic painting of a bird photographed in Greenland
It took me several tried to get this one so I liked it. I found I wanted the bird in focus, sharp and identifiable, but I didn’t want the stone wall to have the same sharp photorealism. I found myself asking for adjustments to the foreground and background, wanting a dynamic painting that truly highlighted…

Love the colors in this one, and the way the sun reflected on the water

Gemini AI dynamic watercolor of a lighthouse from one of my photos
I love the colors in this one, and how it took an interesting sky and amped it up to the max. The lighthouse was out on the tiny island of rocks, and as I photographed it I tried to imagine what the lighthouse keepers life must have been like a hundred years ago. This sticker…

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.
