We do not work.
We do not propitiate.
We do not hunt.
Our experience is spontaneously realized.
Our own luminescence is uncontrived.
Our awareness is nothing at all.
Our circle does not expand or contract.
Our true selves are spontaneously realized.

Out doing errands and saw these trees at our local college. I wish the picture could show the amazing luminescence. This was the best year for fall colors in WA State I've ever seen.

I fear my flashlight was stolen.
Woe be to me for the loss of my beloved
cylinder of midnight's reprieve—
that slender paramour of aluminium and glass,
whose thumb-kissed button
summoned forth such willing luminescence!

A stylised cubistic male figure walking forward through a dark, distorted urban street. The man is wearing a three-piece suit with a long overcoat. His skin is pale, and his eyes glow with light blue luminescence. The background is warped, abstract buildings and swirling mist shapes that fill the air.

Title: The Bedtime Illustrator
Style: Storybook realism with plush textures and hand-drawn detailing.
Prompt in ALT

A storybook illustration rendered in warm, plush textures showing a friendly monster creature sitting cross-legged on a bedroom floor beside a child's bed. The monster has soft, fuzzy purple and teal fur with gentle bioluminescent spots that cast a subtle magical glow, large innocent eyes, and small rounded horns, while delicately holding a crayon in its oversized paws as it doodles on paper alongside a pajama-clad child. The scene is captured from a low, intimate side angle at floor level, revealing scattered drawing papers, crayons, and the cozy underside of the bed where this magical friendship unfolds. Golden lamplight from a nearby nightlight mingles with the monster's gentle luminescence, creating a warm sanctuary of imagination and companionship in the child's bedroom.

#digitalart #surrealism #superhero #cosmicenergy #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares

A dynamic digital painting depicts a humanoid figure suspended midair, surrounded by swirling streams of light and color. The figure appears to be leaping or descending through a glowing vortex, its body wrapped in a dark, fitted outfit—black pants, sneakers, and a jacket. From the figure’s head radiates an explosive halo of luminescent energy, blending reds, blues, purples, and golds into liquid, smoke-like ribbons that curl and twist through the surrounding space. The eyes shine bright crimson, piercing through the haze, suggesting power and intensity. The background fades into a soft, glowing mist, giving the sense of vast depth and movement, as though the figure is breaching dimensions or erupting from another plane. The overall composition conveys kinetic force, transformation, and the collision of light and shadow.

$"On my first encounter with Vikki C. and Robert Frede Kenter’s haunting collaborative collection, In the Blueprint of Her Iris, I was instantly enchanted by the echoes of luminescence and colour in its title. It primed me for my entry into a rich experience of eco-human landscapes and otherworldly realism, a terrain where the trembling phrase, the refracted word, emerge in softness...."

Luminous Growth
Ghostlight blooms rise through mist, their glassy stems whispering in molten color.
#digitalart #abstractnature #ethereal #macroart #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares

An abstract digital artwork resembling tall, delicate stems or filaments reaching upward, each topped with shimmering orbs that resemble droplets or glowing seeds. The background swirls with gradients of deep violet, smoky indigo, and warm orange, blending together like liquid light. The glowing spheres catch reflections that shift between gold and blue, giving the impression of bioluminescent flora growing in an otherworldly mist. The composition feels both organic and surreal—like a moment between physics and dream, where light becomes a living structure suspended in air.

The Last Waltz
She never left the ballroom—only the living did.
#hauntedplaces #ghoststory #darkart #abandonedbeauty #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares

A ghostly figure draped in a long, flowing shroud stands alone in the center of a vast, decaying ballroom. Pale light streams through tall arched windows, casting spectral beams across cracked marble floors and dust-choked air. Massive chandeliers hang above, their crystal ornaments catching faint glimmers of light, while cobwebs cling to their edges. The walls are faded, streaked with age and moisture, their former grandeur eroded by time. The figure—motionless and indistinct—seems to radiate faint luminescence, a soft veil of mist that blurs the boundary between presence and memory. The entire scene feels suspended between worlds: silence, sorrow, and the echo of forgotten music linger in the air.

John Atkinson Grimshaw, 'Nightfall down the Thames' (1880)

The artwork titled “Nightfall on the Thames,” painted by John Atkinson Grimshaw in 1880, is an exquisite contribution to the Romanticism art movement. This piece, executed in oil on board, measures 40.2 x 63.1 cm and is part of the collection at the Leeds Art Gallery in Leeds, United Kingdom. Classified under the marina genre, the painting captures a serene and contemplative maritime evening scene along the River Thames.

The artwork portrays a tranquil, nocturnal view of the Thames, suffused in an almost ethereal moonlit glow. The scene is characterized by the dimly illuminated silhouettes of ships and their towering masts. The ghostly presence of St. Paul’s Cathedral can be discerned in the background, veiled in a hazy luminescence. The reflection of the moonlight on the gently rippling water adds to the painting’s tranquil atmosphere. The distinct lack of strong color contrasts and the pervasive shades of green and yellow contribute to the mood of quietude and reflection. The meticulous attention to detail, especially evident in the depiction of the ships and their intricate rigging, underscores Grimshaw’s mastery in capturing the subtle interplay between light and shadow in this evocative nocturnal setting.

Last photos from that day in the #schwarzwald . We were pretty surprised when we came to the part shown in the last photo. The #moss was so thick there - like a real carpet! I've never seen such before. I found it pretty hard to get a photo that pays the […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]

Nestled deep within a lush, verdant forest, this narrow trail invites hikers into a world of tranquil solitude and natural beauty. The path, a winding ribbon of earthy brown, is gently bordered by moss-covered rocks and boulders, their vibrant green hues suggesting centuries of undisturbed growth. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy above, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow across the forest floor, where fallen leaves and pine needles create a soft, rustling carpet.

Moss blankets the forest floor and climbs up the sides of ancient trees, its vivid green hues contrasting beautifully with the darker bark and scattered brown leaves. Ferns, delicate and intricate, emerge from the undergrowth, their fronds swaying gently in the light forest breeze. A small, trickling stream crosses the path, its rocky bed glistening with moisture, adding a soothing soundtrack to the tranquil scene.

Nestled deep within an ancient forest, this enchanting trail winds its way through a lush, green sanctuary. The path, a narrow ribbon of earthy brown, is softly bordered by vibrant moss-covered mounds that seem to glow with an almost magical luminescence. The moss, a rich emerald green, blankets the rocks and ground, creating a plush carpet that adds to the forest's serene ambiance.

Towering trees, their trunks dark and sturdy, rise majestically on either side of the trail, their branches weaving a dense canopy overhead. Filtered sunlight dances through the leaves, casting dappled shadows and bathing the forest floor in a soft, ethereal light. Ferns and other undergrowth add layers of texture and depth, their delicate fronds swaying gently in the light forest breeze.

Sarah Gayle Carter (American, born 1953) :
Luminescence, 2023
(Sunset)

Oil on panel | 36 x 46 inches

Artist statement in the alt text 👇

“I used to design things. Custom rugs mostly. Also mirrors, lamps, plates, furniture, and even scarves. The years spent in the high end home furnishings market trained my eye and taught me much about the detail and discipline required to develop design strong enough to translate through the many phases of development from sketch to final manufactured product.

But now I paint. My designer eye responds to line, form, and certainly color. I look for the color and structure hiding beneath the surface of things. I push the world I see into an abstracted, but recognizable play of color, texture and geometry - a fresh, fun, modern take on the classic genre of landscape painting. I plan a little, play a lot, listen to music and let my instincts lead the way - this is about joy!

As much fun as it is to loosen up and play with paint, the designer in me is alive and well. I’m attracted to clean composition, color, pattern and texture. After years of the controlled specification required for production of custom rugs and other home furnishings products, I enjoy the immediacy of paint on my brush, color at my finger tips, the smell, the feel, and the constant surprises that lead the way. Painting, for me, is a rewarding form of down and dirty magic.

I am still at it, painting these gorgeous, layered fields and old blue mountains. Life is good.”
