One
of my lost paintings from college was a scene with a paisley background
and in the foreground an artist (myself) painting with an easel but

My prompt to ChatGPT: a painting styled image of a painter painting in his own knee while seated in front of an easel
ChatGPT said:
Here
is the image of the painter, seated in front of his easel, painting on
his own knee in a cozy, sunlit studio. The surreal, whimsical
atmosphere should capture the unique creativity of the scene. Let me
know if you'd like to adjust any details!

In a surreal twist, he should be painting his own image on the easel, while painting his own knee in the outer scene
ChatGPT said:
Here’s
the updated surreal scene where the painter is not only painting on his
own knee, but also painting a self-portrait on the easel, creating a
layered reality. The whimsical twist should add a mind-bending quality
to the artwork. Let me know if you’d like any further adjustments!
I didn't try a third time to get him drawing his own knee....
