summer painting, 2024

I spent so much time working on this painting, it feels like it deserves a little more than just an addition to the gallery. I took a week off this summer to decompress and I think I drifted a bit too far. how long can you stay in your imagination before things start to bleed together?

I've been thinking a lot about artificial intelligence. sometimes I think about it through the lense of folks who said the internet was going to take all of our jobs and it seems kind of silly. regardless of the emotional side you're on, it's going to change up a lot. I've started drawing/sketching/painting through a filter of how ai will generate images. It gives enough that you know what's going on, but when you actually give it your focus, it's not quite there. From what I've observed while. I don't remember how someone's left arm looks. I remember their general essence and probably what kind of energy they put out, but I'm not going to have a memory of them walking down a flight of stairs with their arms fully detailed in memory. how does this look visually? is it lazy or efficient?
