An emotion-loaded artwork. Such artworks capture more than faces; they immortalise the stories etched in the lines of each individual's journey. Well done. Good luck!

    Thank you Sesha, I really appreciate your kind words. I worked on this one for a while until I felt that it conveyed the right tone.

Hi Lisa, Loved how you used AI and then said, "Move over AI, now it's my turn!" That's exactly what I do when I use AI! I think that's the way AI should be used! The creative soul in me wants to make the image mine! Love the way you used winter to show how grief or depression seems to stop the flow of everything in your heart! The sad character and the frozen pieces of heart show the above thoughts well. The stark white only adds to the feeling of desolation. I think the image reflects a lot on personal pain and the starkness of winter. Hope I'm expressing that well! Very cool image with a lot of thought put into it. Good Luck in the Contest! Wish I had a six for you!

    Wow Nancy thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind and intuitive thoughts. I've been working on this for a while since it was my first real attempt at building a piece over time. It evolved into someone totally different than it started out. I kept tweaking the prompts, making manual edits, then tweaking the prompts and more manual edits until I could see what my poem looked like in my head.

this is a touching scene that could be anywhere and although its quite simple it has that feel to it the the trees at the back seem to convey a sadness and makes the person more alone,do like the heart effect,i to am trying this medium although still prefer taking photos...Brian

    Thank you Brian, I definitely like to try new things but was resistant to AI however I am seeing it's useful for helping kick start an idea. I prefer not to just use whatever the AI spits out and make the images more my own an more authentic.

A very interesting and creative visual presented here. Love how you placed your subject within the piece. Love how the heart shape draws the eye in to your subject. I can feel the cold. Well done!

Comment from Kathy Banich


This digital artwork masterfully captures a poignant scene set in a snowy landscape. The central figure, a person with long white hair, sits on a bench in the middle of a snow-covered field. Dressed in a dark, flowing garment, she is shown with her face buried in her hands, exuding a sense of deep sorrow.

The composition is further enriched by the stark imagery of a large, broken red heart lying in the snow below the bench. This visual metaphor for heartbreak and emotional pain is powerfully conveyed through the contrast between the vivid red heart and the pristine white snow. The bare trees in the background add to the melancholic and somber tone of the piece.

Overall, this artwork is a compelling depiction of vulnerability and heartache, beautifully rendered to evoke strong emotional responses. The simplicity and symbolic elements combine to create a scene that is both haunting and moving.

This is an awesome digital painting of this winter scene, I see this older lady, sitting alone on the park bench in winter , she has her chin resting in her hands and her eyes are closed , the heart under her feet on the snow tells me she is grieving over someone she loves.
I like the bare trees up in back on the left and right and the placement of the bench in center,
Very well created, we can feel her sadness as we view,
Well presented!
Best wishes to you in this contest!

    Thanks Pat, I appreciate your in depth review. I'm just starting to like this medium. I haven't been overly anxious to use AI but I'm starting to see its usefulness. Thanks again!
Comment from Lynnmarie2


Love the attention to details. I am not a fan of AI much anymore except as a tool. So many people use it without putting any effort in to fixing them or making it there own, then claim credit for all the work. Burns my britches, however, I am glad you put yourself into this, adding your own touches to make it your own. Well done!

    Thanks Lynn, this is a relatively new medium for me. I have been very resistant to using AI but using it to get a base image does expedite the creative process. I like that I can keep tweaking the prompts until I get the base image I envisioned then use painting and editing tools to finish the image. It's growing on me but still prefer to do things the traditional things when time and circumstances allow.
