I was enjoying looking at illustrations on Pixabay.com a few days ago. It’s website with free download of photos and illustrations. Many of the “users” (I think of them as artists) are very talented. I came upon 11 drawings by an artist who goes by the name, charcoaldrawing. The illustrations are all ai-generated animals. I personally have not tried using ai to generate illustrations or even writing. At this time, it makes me wonder how much I see on TV, magazines, online, etc. is generated on a computer. If you are an artist and draw or paint, I call your products real. It’s just how my old mind works. I know drawing on a computer also takes skill, but now add programs that invent a product too.

Psalm 62:5 Find Rest in God
Today’s inspiration is based on Psalm 62:5:
Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
Vintage St. Nicholas Prints
I love vintage prints and Christmas is the perfect time for a vintage St. Nicholas print. Today I’m sharing 2 vintage prints I downloaded for free from the New York Public Library. They offer many scans of vintage cards that have no current copyright, and I like both of my selections. First I used editing software to clean up these 100 year-old Christmas cards. Using filters I lightened the gray and brought out the original colors. I increased the DPI (dots per inch) and resized the card for modern frames. Below is the dull original graphic I downloaded. The snow is dirty.
