I finally took the plunge and glazed one of my oil paintings… and I have to admit, I really enjoyed it! 🙈✨ It’s my very first time glazing an oil painting, so there are definitely things I’ll do differently next time, but that’s all part of the learning, isn’t it? 🙈❤️ I love that no matter how long you’ve been creating, there’s always something new to discover. Every painting teaches us something, and every new skill adds another little brushstroke to the journey. Here’s to trying new things, embracing the imperfections, and becoming a little better each time. 💜🎨

I caught up. My version so far.

We were laughing again today in class over Dippy the Tippy. I think it has staying power. And I could not resist doing a bit of imagining with some AI help. I told it about the group and what Dippy the Tippy meant and I also related it to that fear of that first paint to canvas. Grok Imagine came up with two images and as I was downloading them, a childhood memory surfaces of a mechanical bird that bobbed down to drink and back up. I asked Google and it immediately found the right novelty and get this...it is sometimes called the Dippy Bird! So then I took all that into ChatGPT - yeah, I treat AI's like we have a secret club and I just can't stand to exclude any of them. HAHAHAHA And it came up with several more versions. I'm attaching all the ideas plus a pic of the bird. What floats your boat? Do you have a differing idea while looking at these? Any and all comments are welcome. This was not run by @Michelle Cyr first so she has an ironclad "Nutt'n to do with any of this." Except, well, she did start the whole thing. 🤣 I'm almost afraid of the song @LM Sharron might create...
