Generative AI is already reshaping how creative work is made and paid for - and this is your chance to have a say 🎨🤖

A little watercolour doodle - no matter how mindless I feel when dabbling like this - the end result often turns to ‘The Path’ - where walking becomes art and vice versa. #art #watercolour #purple #blue

Photos from the VAS Exhibition in Kirkcudbright: Common Ground; The Living Landscape

I can't wait to go see it in person!

My piece is called Rosemary Flowers, it's a cyanotype on paper.

I digitally mirrored a photo of a fern for this image with two green eyes looking at us, and loved the pareidolia - seeing these eyes and blurred green creatures in the background. As if nature was a sentient being.

A fern #scape with fascinating #fractals, looking at us 👀🪴

A sentient being?

Have a good weekend! ☀️🌿💚
