The reference photo for this oil painting was created using AI. After I made compositional changes in Photoshop. I layered oil colors onto the surface over a period of months, meticulously hand-painting the artwork.
This original oil painting arrives framed and ready to hang via the pictured wooden frame secured by 30lb wire and d-rings. Additionally, paintings include a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the back. Paintings are professionally packaged and insured during shipment.
After generating thousands of images using Night Cafe, I selected a limited number to paint from based on compositional elements.
AI is a new term that many of us artists are scared of. I think incorporating it into my process in this way is something you don't see very often. It was challenging mentally because there are so many ethical considerations. So rather than just copy another artist's work, I set out to create things that were completely new.
In this series, I explored AI-generated images and prompts, carefully selecting reference photos based on their compositional merit. Afterward, I enhanced them in Photoshop before translating the concepts into oil paintings using traditional mediums such as pencil and oil paint.

When it comes to art certificates, there's a crucial factor to consider. Certificates created using common computers and machines can be easily replicated. Many art listings on platforms like eBay feature certificates from online third-party companies, not from the original artist. This poses a significant risk, as anyone could potentially 'certify' artwork, even if the artist didn't create it in question. Safeguarding the authenticity of certificates is vital in maintaining the integrity of the art market.
A certificate of authenticity should be as irreplaceable as the art itself; this tiny detail can help protect against fraud and guarantee that you are getting an original. It can also ensure that you can more easily able to sell your art later on in life without a hitch.
Paintings shipped within the U.S. are shipped free of charge.
