Without Words Create A Picture Of Mercy And Faithfulness In The Heavens Based On This Verse: “For I Have Said, Mercy Shall Be Art

I sat, long ago, on an Asian hill with a Shakya Mundi friend, and watched the autumn leaves fall down from high above, giants in the forest casting off their wakefulness, falling progressively into winter’s long, white sleep. 

“The important thing to know about trees” he said, “is that they are most beautiful in autumn; just before the winter snow.  They live and grow through the entire year just for these brief moments of stunning beauty.  We are like that.” He said, “but we have only one autumn, and a very long winter.”

Oil Painting Art Style, a magnificent Red Admiral butterfly with its wings spread wide, revealing intricate patterns of bold black, vivid orange-red, and crisp white, firmly perched on the distinctive, textured white bark of an aspen tree. This scene is set at a lower elevation, where the aspen grows near a gently flowing stream, its banks adorned with a lush fall garden of colorful autumn flowers—deep reds, golden yellows, and fiery oranges—arranged in a picturesque display. Overhead and around, the aspen tree's own leaves are ablaze with brilliant, bright gold, adding a stunning luminosity to the scene. The entire composition is illuminated by clear, crisp autumn light, casting subtle shadows and highlighting the rich textures. Focus on the detailed brushwork on the butterfly's wings, the tangible texture of the aspen bark, and the vibrant, layered colors of the fall foliage and flowers, especially the striking golden aspen leaves, creating a detailed and serene artistic composition.
Art Style: Analytical Cubism, avant-garde oil painting style reminiscent of Picasso and Braque.

Subject: A dense, tangled thicket of Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurel bushes.

Composition & Details: The entire natural scene is deconstructed into overlapping geometric planes, fractured shards, and intersecting angles. There are no curved lines; everything is rendered in cubes, cones, and trapezoids.

    The Rhododendrons: Large, showy flower trusses are broken into faceted crystalline structures of deep magenta, rose pink, and violet blocks, looking like explosions of colored quartz rather than soft petals.

    The Mountain Laurels: The smaller, intricate flowers are rendered as complex, repeating geometric star-patterns and angular cups in white and pale pink with distinct red polygonal markings.

    Foliage & Branches: The thick, leathery leaves are fragmented green triangles and parallelograms overlapping each other, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective. The woody stems and branches are jagged, intersecting brown and grey cylinders that shatter across the frame.

Color & Texture: A palette of muted earth tones—ochre, burnt umber, forest green, and slate grey—contrasted sharply with the jewel-toned facets of the flower colors. The finish should have a heavy, textured oil paint feel with visible palette knife marks and rough brushwork.

Now, we’ll all have our time on the rapid
And we may end together, alone,
going ‘round and about in an eddy
bruised and broken and soaked to the bone.
But the eddy keeps silent the wild current’s call
alongside those now grateful captains and all
we are given reprieve from a death at the fall
as we move to and fro’ in the spin.
We stand safe, as the spin takes us in.

still life arrangement of fruits and flowers
Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  The damaged and the broken ones; all rooted in the past,
	live life the way it always was, from their first day to their last.
	Motes of dust in beams of light, in the darkness of this day,
	we tip the hat and give a nod, for the truth we can’t convey.

	Everything is real, but nothing matters, anyway.
	Where life is only what must be, from the cradle to the grave.
	Everyone does what they can:  Nothing less, but sure no more. 
	Tip the hat and give a nod to the ones who’ve gone before.
	We tip our hats and give the nod to the world we’ve all ignored
Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens
An Asian Slice
At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night,
A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap.  Someone might think he’s sleeping.  He’s smoking heroin.  Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn.

Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley, 
hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad.  Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy.  Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.

Understood! Let's refine this to specifically identify the subject as male and ensure the luxurious purple clothing receives significant emphasis, moving beyond just an aura. This will create a truly regal and striking image based on Song of Songs 5:11.

Here's the revised prompt:

AI Art Prompt:

"A powerful and opulent male portrait, dramatically lit and styled, directly inspired by Song of Songs 5:11. The subject's head is crowned with dramatically wavy hair that is intensely, profoundly black—like the glossy, wet feathers of a raven. His gaze is commanding and serene. He is draped in sumptuous, rich royal purple garments made of flowing velvet or silk, featuring intricate drapes and folds that catch the light, emphasizing their regal texture. A radiant, ethereal golden light emanates from around the crown of his head, symbolically representing "purest gold," casting highlights onto his features and the luxurious purple fabric. This golden light and the deep purple of his attire are set against a background of mysterious, yet elegant black shadow and subtle Art Deco-inspired geometric patterns that reinforce the high-contrast aesthetic. The overall mood is one of majestic beauty, divine royalty, and profound symbolic opulence, with the black and purple colors dominating the composition

Photorealism Art Style, a profoundly dramatic and intensely luminous image depicting a vision of Heaven seen from the ground. The scene is dominated by a blazing, overwhelming celestial light that is violently breaking through the darkness of the night sky. This light is not the sun, but the pure glory of God, manifesting as swirling gold, brilliant white, and ethereal blue luminescence that seems to pull the viewer upward. A long red-haired woman, wearing simple, flowing heavenly attire, stands below, gazing upward with an expression of ecstatic awe and reverence. She is bathed in the brilliant, otherworldly light streaming down, suggesting the moment of divine revelation where the heavens are torn open. The focus is on the raw, blinding intensity of the divine light, the realistic texture of the woman's awe-struck face, and the vibrant, chaotic energy of the celestial vision, creating a powerful image of a direct, momentary glimpse into the boundless presence of Heaven.
Visionary Art Style, Bioluminescence Art Style, an awe-inspiring, luminous depiction of ancient Jewish cosmology for Psalm 8:3, presented with profound depth and ethereal glow. The central feature is a vast, shimmering, domed firmament (raqia), appearing as a translucent, opalescent boundary stretching across the scene, separating realms. Above this firmament, immense, glowing celestial waters swirl with bioluminescent currents of deep blues, purples, and greens, illuminated by an unseen, brilliant divine light emanating from the highest heavens. Large, radiant stars and a luminous crescent moon are not distant objects, but rather appear as integral, internally glowing bioluminescent entities set within the shimmering surface of the firmament, their light subtly pulsing. Below, hints of foundational earth and the "waters below" are visible, also touched by soft, ethereal glows. The entire scene is alive with vibrant, jewel-toned celestial colors and a sense of boundless, mystical energy. Focus on the layered, translucent quality of the firmament, the dynamic, living glow of the bioluminescent waters and embedded celestial bodies, and an overwhelming sense of ancient, sacred wonder and divine power.
Create an image inspired by the sentiment of 1 Peter 3:3-4, with an emphasis on elements of gentleness and tranquility. The art should evoke a deeply respectful and devotional tone towards Christianity. Although the style should be digital, no text or words should be used in the image. Instead, use symbolism and visual cues to express the essence of the scripture, creating a serene, spiritual atmosphere in the artwork.

An incredibly detailed and profound scene depicting the Vision of the Dry Bones from Ezekiel 37. The immediate foreground features a stark, highly detailed close-up of a single ancient human skull, its empty eye sockets gazing out, perfectly rendered with realistic bone texture. Beyond this skull, stretching into the mid-ground, a vast, desolate valley is entirely carpeted with an immense, sprawling expanse of countless other ancient, stark white human bones and skulls. A powerful, divine wind (ruach), emanating an ethereal, sacred glow, swirls violently through this boneyard. This divine energy causes the bones to dramatically rattle, shift, and miraculously knit together, forming complete skeletons. Further in the background, some of these skeletons have already begun to rapidly form tendons, flesh, and skin, starting to rise as part of a nascent, colossal army. The sky above is dramatic and ominous, with streaks of divine light breaking through thick clouds. The overall mood is one of overwhelming desolation, followed by the initial, awe-inspiring moments of miraculous transformation and the promise of life."
