Created for Le Salon des Renegades with the upcycling of some images from my series New Old Stories.
"Chores" is an image that depicts a young boy in a pastoral setting, taking a break from apple picking. To place the image in the late 19th to early 20th century, the style of clothing and the rural landscape suggest the scene, reminiscent of an American Realist painting.
Collaborating with midjourney AI, the attention to detail and the use of light and shadow give the artwork a lifelike quality, while the serene expression on the boy's face and the calm surroundings convey a sense of tranquil rural life.
