I recognised the light before I saw the title - it has its own midsummer spectrum. The colours and the textures all have that otherworldly feel to them, which would seem appropriate for a medicine woman. I wonder does midsummer hold some significance to the Cherokee? Her eyes seem to challenge the viewer, or perhaps she’s taken pity on those of us less aware than she. That beautiful backlighting wins me every time! ❤️

When I said *more light!* ... I was *never* hour or mood specific.  

:-)

There are *so* many kinds to paint with! Yet this one *is* deep and lovely, isn't it?

*I wonder does midsummer hold some significance to the Cherokee?*

I can not say with any certainty; sensitive to the seasons and the world around them it would seem likely. Twilight, however, is a revered and often sacred time throughout the elder world.

Oh, I've *ever* been a big fan of back and rim lighting!

I noticed your penchant for back and rim lighting. It’s opened my eyes to the value of including something beyond side lighting and chiaroscuro. I’m yet to really implement it effectively. I think I will need to build it  specifically into a prompt so it’s prominent enough to out-weigh the Lora’s. I’m having trouble today getting a decent image of a forest, or specifically inside a forest.  Might have to stop trying so hard and come back to it later.

No-Theme Thursday

The Cherokee people inhabited parts of what is today Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee of the United States. Cherokee are traditionally a woodland folk, building permanent or semi-permanent villages along streams and rivers in the mountainous country of the southern Appalachian Mountains. 

These *“Principal People”* (as the Cherokee call themselves) migrated south from the Great Lakes 1,000–2,000 years ago to settle in the Appalachian Mountains. 

Among the Cherokee, women traditionally hold a great deal of power, both politically and spiritually. Many women are holy women, or medicine women. The medicine woman is part healer, part advisor, and part spiritualist.

Many people out there try to tell you that AI Art violates the copyright of artists by training on their images without permission. The major problem with this argument is that no one needs permission to train on other people's art. Copyright only prevents people from publishing the same specific images, it has nothing to do with brand new images.
