“For He Shall Grow Up Before Him As A Tender Plant, And As A Root Out Of A Dry Ground: He Hath No Form Nor Comeliness; And When Art

Do not use words to create the idea:

“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,” (Psalms 17:8, KJV)

“As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.” (Psalms 17:15, KJV)
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."
They shall build houses and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
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.
A highly realistic and historically accurate image set in the deep, waterlogged mud of the Texas Cross Timbers (Montague County) in 1840. The scene captures the frustrating moment when the Chihuahua Traders caravan is completely stuck. Foreground focus is on several heavy, wooden Conestoga freight wagons, mired up to their axles in dark, thick mud. Exhausted oxen are straining and distressed, their drivers in rough frontier attire attempting to free the wheels with ropes and levers. In the mid-ground, a small group of the American equestrian circus performers stands next to their distinctive, high-quality riding horses, which are visibly more refined than the typical pack animals. The performers are dressed in sturdy but distinct traveling clothes, looking ill-equipped and frustrated by the muddy conditions. One performer is carefully securing a colorful carriage or cart containing unique circus props, struggling to keep it from sinking. The overall mood is one of miserable delay and hardship. Cloudy, oppressive sky; detailed realism; wide-angle shot; dark, moody lighting.

A serene and rustic autumn landscape, featuring an aged John Deere farm implement (a seeder or planter) in the foreground. The old machinery retains its weathered green and rust colors but is now positioned amidst a carpet of vibrant fallen autumn leaves in shades of gold, orange, and russet.

The large, leafy trees in the middle ground, which were green in the original image, are now transformed into glorious specimens of fall foliage, displaying brilliant yellows, fiery oranges, and deep reds. The distant field shows hints of freshly turned earth or dry, golden stubble. In the background, the small house with the blue roof remains, nestled amongst a dense forest that is also ablaze with autumn colors.

The sky is a clear, bright autumn blue, with warm, golden sunlight characteristic of a pleasant fall day, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the rich textures of the old equipment, the tree bark, and the colorful leaves. The overall mood is one of peaceful rural charm, autumnal beauty, and the quiet dignity of farm life as the seasons change.
The San Gorgonio Pass, Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, all hoary-frost and granite.  Snake-like clouds adorning her peak, I gaze past the big white house toward her uplifted boulders.
And at the South, Mt. San Jacinto has lost his head in cloud.  Burned bones against a blue sky backdrop.  Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth:  They accentuate the Sonora desert’s west extreme, and last night’s moon, high up on the left, forgot to go away.

A serene and majestic watercolor painting, capturing the essence of a grand, towering evergreen tree (like the dominant one in the provided image) standing proudly in a sun-dappled, open forest glade. The tree's deep green needles are rendered with varying washes, showcasing its immense height and full, tiered branches that reach towards a partly cloudy, bright blue sky.

Around the base of this glorious tree, two or three graceful mule deer are depicted. One might be grazing peacefully, another looking up towards the viewer with its large, expressive ears, and a fawn possibly tucked nearby. Their coats are rendered in soft, earthy watercolor tones of grey-brown, with delicate highlights and shading to suggest their gentle forms and distinctive white rumps and tails.

The surrounding landscape features a subtle ground cover of dry grasses and scattered undergrowth, characteristic of a high-desert or mountain forest floor, painted with soft, blended washes of ochre, sage green, and light brown. The sky above is a classic watercolor blend of soft blues and wispy white clouds. The overall mood is one of tranquil natural beauty, quiet majesty, and a harmonious coexistence of wildlife and ancient trees, rendered with the flowing, luminous quality of watercolor 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.”
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” (Psalms 51:17, KJV)

"Uriel, the Angel of Light and Wisdom from the Book of Enoch, a majestic celestial guide, standing amidst swirling cosmic dust and ethereal nebulae. His form radiates intense, pure light. He gestures towards a hidden cosmic mechanism, revealing ancient knowledge, holding a flaming orb of pure light. Robes of deep sapphire blue and radiant gold, adorned with ancient symbols. Serene, knowing face, eyes glimmering with cosmic insight. Behind him, celestial gears and the fiery essence of the sun. Hyperrealistic digital painting, divine luminosity, epic detailed, cinematic lighting, cosmic gradients."

Image Brief — “Britian. A Chocolate State of Mind.” (Landscape / Conference Hall)

Visual Concept:
A photographic, data-style image capturing the absurdity of corporate branding and political satire. The chocolate bar spelling “Britian” is the central focus. The scene is staged in a conference hall, emphasizing the formal-but-absurd atmosphere of a high-profile political event.

Core Elements:
	•	Chocolate bar front and center, wrapper crumpled, spelling clearly visible.
	•	Backdrop / environment: realistic conference hall — lectern in the frame, faint rows of seating or stage elements, subtle signs of a political event. No office props.
	•	Palette: predominantly blue tones (lighting, hall décor, banners), with small Tory-signifier accents (navy, subtle red) to hint at political context.
	•	Orientation: landscape (wide) — must match the style and aspect ratio of other blog images.
	•	Lighting / style: naturalistic photography; soft, realistic shadows; slightly moody, surreal undertone; no cartoonish or illustrative effects.
	•	Mood / atmosphere: dry, ironic, subtly surreal — visually echoing Tom Kite’s sardonic, satirical voice.

Typography (optional):
Small text on wrapper: “Have a break from reality” in clean, bold type, integrated naturally into the photographic scene.

Use / Context:
	•	Featured image for blog post “Britian. A Chocolate State of Mind.”
	•	Must work as both thumbnail and full-size blog header.
	•	Maintain photographic, slightly surreal style consistent with other blog imagery

Got it. You'd like the full prompt again, including the updated detail about miners on the banks, ready for ArtStyles.com. Here it is:

Revised Prompt for ArtStyles.com:

"A bustling scene of 19th-century gold miners during the California Gold Rush. Several determined miners are panning for gold in a shallow, rocky stream in the Sierra Nevada mountains, their rugged, worn clothing and wide-brimmed hats indicating their toil. Along the banks of the stream, other miners are actively digging into the earth with shovels and picks, creating small piles of dirt and using sluice boxes to separate gold. Sunlight filters through tall pine trees, casting dappled light on the scene, illuminating the clear water and the industrious activity of the miners. The background showcases a rugged, forested landscape with distant hills.""sepia tone vintage photograph, grainy, aged look"

A close-up, shallow depth-of-field photograph. Weathered, hardworking hands are resting on a rough-hewn wooden table next to a broken loaf of hearty brown bread. The background shows a blurred, peaceful garden or workshop. The image evokes a sense of accomplishment and quiet rest. Soft, natural lighting. Zero text or characters in the image.
A majestic celestial being made of flowing quicksilver and molten gold, standing tall, liquid metal. The entity holds a small glowing scroll. The angel's form is fluid and constantly shifting. The right foot is submerged in the ocean, but the ocean is made of liquid chrome, and the leg creates ripples that blend perfectly with the water, indistinguishable from the sea. The left foot plants firmly on the earth, the liquid metal form solidifying into structure as it touches the ground, heavy droplets of silver splashing onto the soil. High contrast, ray tracing, volumetric lighting, fluid simulation
A candid, tender photograph of a person lying sick in a dimly lit, cozy bedroom, buried under a heavy quilt with only their pale face showing, eyes closed in sleep. Tissues and medicine bottles clutter a bedside table. Curled beside the person in bed is a fluffy calico cat that has a pair of feathered angel wings. The cat is asleep too. Soft, natural light streams from a window to the left. Film grain.
A surreal, double-exposure art piece. Inside, a detailed architectural interior of a temple with a table of "shewbread" and a glowing altar. Outside and overlapping, a vast, swirling nebula and "heaven of heavens" filled with stars and cosmic light, suggesting the infinite nature of God. The temple walls seem translucent, unable to contain the celestial glory. Ethereal, oil painting style, deep blues and glowing golds, inspired by Rembrandt’s lighting. “And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods. But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?” (2 Chronicles 2:3-6, KJV)
