    Not as simplistic as I wanted. I tried loads of prompts and my instructions for simplistic, crude drawings, even stick figure drawings were all ignored. Here we go anyway.

    Here’s the prompt that generated this particular image.

    A charcoal cartoonish drawing of a tree holding a brush and a color palette in a forest. Next to the tree, there is an easel and a canvas with a portrait of Bob Ross.

      Sorry you didn’t win this time, keep trying though as this was a very different take on a classic theme and got a chuckle out of me :)

          It can take a lot of work to get what’s in our head but sometimes what we stumble upon can be even better than we imagined. You could call them happy little accidents.
