Today’s daily verse: “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” (Proverbs 29:25, ESV)
Today’s picture was fun to create, and it’s getting closer to what I want from my art. I’ve used a couple sources to generate the images, then experiment with masking to make it look more unique. Today I tried to get both Gemini and ChatGPT to generate an image that was a reflection of today’s verse, and this was the best that ChatGPT came up with. But look at the tree! I changed the fill of the leafy part and the trunk to something unique, using stock images from MS PowerPoint. This is an idea that I stole from someone quite a while ago; she used this technique to create unique children’s book art. (I can’t remember if it was an online course or YouTube; my apologies to the creator.) To finally use it in my own creation is pretty exciting!
And by the way, the message of today’s verse is spot on. I think so many of us deal with the fear of what other people think, and it holds us back from trying something new and unique. I know I do, and it’s a constant battle. Here’s to another day’s victorious battle!
