My response to the Creative Prompt "Butterfly". I used a cool image transfer method that I learned in the Juicy Soul retreat at A Work of Heart and found some great butterfly images from The Graphics Fairy and a bunch of quotes about butterflies from the link that Jaye posted with this prompt. This is the first layer for one of my art journal pages. I'm not sure what this page will end up like, but I'm really pleased with this first phase.
Prompt #20 from Janel of "Run with Scissors" Journal prompts
Journal Prompt 20: Here is the age old question, what is in your bag?? This has always been a great photo prompt that i have seen all over the blog world. Today, you are going to write about the contents of YOUR bag, or illustrate it, or take a picture of it, whatever :D

Brandon came home a couple of weeks ago, and we promptly took off for a family vacation in Maui! The first night's images are edited, and I thought I'd share a handful since I've been off the radar for a little while.
We stayed just north of Lahaina in Ka'anapali, in a vacation rental we found on VRBO. It was pretty spectacular, and we were steps from this beautiful beach, which we decided to walk along for our first sunset. Brandon was the champion of Dads, and worked on keeping Chloe (mostly) dry while we walked. She'd live in the ocean if she could.
I, of course, documented the entire trip. I find myself taking mostly photos of my family these days - the last seven months have been all-Chloe, so I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see these two together in a photo (and in real life!) again. ♥
Prompt #13:
"Who inspires you?" Janel is a reader and so journaled about a character from a book, but I'm going with a character from a movie. Do you remember Linda Hamilton in Terminator II? Oh my word I thought she was so tough - I wanted to be her!...
This week we were to have someone else draw in our planner and then add to it. My mom drew this wonderful chair. I colored it in and added a plant and rug. drawdaily.blogspot.com/2014/03/invite-someone-else-to-dra...

St. Drake's 1860 Plantation X Bitters. The back of all there cabins is embossed with "Patent 1862" This example is chocolate brown Bitters in general made their heyday in the 1850's, 60's and 70's during the temperance movement to get around the heavy alcohol taxation. Alcohol was also taxed heavily to support the Union forces during the civil war. In 1869 proprietor P. H. Drake sold 6.25 million bottles of Plantation Bitters.. This prompted him to expand his operations and he touted that he could now turn out nearly 10 million bottles per year. This was barely sufficient for 1875!. Drake even tried to have his product slogan painted on the side of the great pyramid in Egypt. He was declined! Of course for medicinal purposes only, bitters contained mostly alcohol. This particular product containing Rum from the Virgin Islands (St. Croix) thus the St, and the "X" in the name standing for St. Croix! Bitters and all other patent medicines thrived until the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 when manufacturers had to make good on their claims of curing almost every malady know to man. Most of them quickly disappeared!.

DALL-E 2024 prompt:
The scene is set in a 16:9 widescreen format, within an atelier in an old, worn-down building. A white robot painter is in the center of the room, actively painting one of the younger models on a canvas. The models are standing along the right wall, both with long, messy black hair and worn clothes. This widescreen image captures both the models in the background and the white robot painter in the foreground, emphasizing the contrast between the rustic human element and the sleek mechanical nature of the robot. Atmospheric lighting highlights the textures of the old building and the subjects.

The Spirit of Chartwell is an unusual addition to the Luxury Train Club, as it is a luxury River Cruiser. However, the interiors, atmosphere and attentive service are redolent of a luxury train. Indeed, the inspiration behind the riverboat’s public areas was the Rene Lalique 1929 Pullman car ‘Cote d’Azur’ operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. It was previously based in London, England, when in 2012 it was completely refurbished for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. It played a major role in the Thames Pageant, where it was in the flotilla as The Royal Barge, and carried Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth and HRH Prince Philip. This riverboat defines luxury Douro River cruising, setting the standard for service and quality. The finest interior furnishings, the impressive amount of space, and the high number of staff members per guest, all work together to create an elegant, club-like atmosphere for the fortunate few; an environment where every need is predicted and promptly attended to during the calm passage along the majestic Douro River Valley.
Built in 1929-1931, this Art Deco-style 25-story skyscraper was designed by the firm of Dietel, Wade and Jones to serve as the city hall for the city of Buffalo. Prior to the construction of city hall, the city government of Buffalo was housed in the County and City Hall, built 60 years prior. The city more than quadrupled in population from 125,000 to over 500,000 in the half-century between the 1870s and 1920s, which prompted the city government to start planning the construction of a dedicated, separate city hall building to house city offices and the city council. The west side of Niagara Square was chosen as the site for the building, necessitating the first major alteration to the city’s original street grid with the closure of the block of Court Street running west from the square. The site was previously home to the Greek Revival-style mansion of former Buffalo mayor Samuel Wilkeson, which had been demolished and replaced by a gas station in 1915, which itself was replaced by City Hall. By the time that City Hall was being constructed, Niagara Square had transitioned from a fashionable residential enclave lined with the mansions of the city’s elite to a major civic center and an extension of the city’s central business district, with the high-rise Statler Hotel and substantial Buffalo Athletic Club sitting on the north and south sides of the square. Shortly after the completion of city hall, two Stripped Classical-style federal office buildings were built on the east side of the square along Court Street, solidifying the area’s status as a major cultural and governmental center for the city. At the time of its construction, the 32-story 398-foot-tall city hall was one of the city’s tallest buildings, though the earlier Rand Tower at Lafayette square exceeded it in height. The building was finished at a transition point, as the Great Depression caused the city’s double-digit growth rate to slow to less than one percent in the 1930s, and then begin a long decline in the 1950s from nearly 600,000 people that would continue through the 2010s, when the city neared a population of 250,000. In the same time period, the metropolitan area around the city, following the trends of other struggling postindustrial cities in the Great Lakes and Rust Belt region, grew from under 1 million residents in the 1930s, to over 1.3 million in the 1970s, before declining to 1.1 million by the 2010s. Given when it was built, the building, like Buffalo Central Terminal, represents the city when it was nearing its peak, right before it began a cycle of decline that only ended in the past decade.
The building features an octagonal base three stories tall, with multiple places where the building’s tower features setbacks, giving it a distinctive Art Deco silhouette and meaning that, by the time the building reaches the top floor, the footprint of the floor is about 1/6 of that at ground level. The building is clad in Minnesota limestone and Amherst (Ohio) sandstone, with several courses of gray granite at the base. The building’s floors shrink as it rises, first setting back from South Elmwood Avenue to the rear, the chamfered corners at the diagonal radial avenues, and above the front portico at the third floor, before setting back further at the thirteenth floor, where the north and south wings terminate, and at the fifteenth floor, where the two wings immediately north and south of the portico that extend eastward towards Niagara Square terminate. The tops of each setback feature a low-slope roof enclosed by a sandstone parapet. Above this, the tower slowly transitions from a square footprint to an octagonal footprint, before ending in an octagonal roof with polychromatic decorative masonry, Iroquois busts at the corners, and ribs atop the roof. The building features many historic metal casement windows that open inward, making them easy to clean without the need for exterior window washers. Most window bays, except those on the fourth and thirteenth floors and outer bays of the taller setbacks and tower, feature decorative recessed spandrel panels in copper or stone, flanked by pilasters, which emphasize the building’s verticality. The front portico also emphasizes its verticality, featuring a cluster of fluted sandstone columns with decorative capitals supporting an architrave with a decorative carved relief that represents the city’s history and industrial prowess. The ceiling of the portico features recessed square and triangular patterns set at a 45-degree angle to the rest of the building, with decorative colorful circular trim pieces inside these recesses. Additionally, the entrance doors are on a recessed walls flanked by two concavely curved walls covered with flutes, and features decorative carved friezes on the stone spandrel panels over the doors. The rear facade, facing Court Street to the west at the exterior of the main Council Chamber, features a colonnade with engaged fluted columns flanking recessed windows and copper spandrel panels, with a large relief depicting the city’s history above. At the chamfered corners of the building, along the radial side streets, are two small plazas with statues of Grover Cleveland and Millard Fillmore, two former US Presidents whom lived in Buffalo.
The interior of the building is richly decorated with murals, bronze doors, decorative bronze panels, stone cladding, stone floors with brass inlays, fluted columns and pilasters, vaulted ceilings, decorative grilles, carved figurines, decorative tile ceilings, carved wooden doors, and a notable semi-circular stained glass skylight in the main council meeting chamber that depicts the sun. Many of the building’s murals were created by William de Leftwich Dodge, with sculptor Albert Stewart creating many of the friezes, and statues by Rene Paul Chambellan. A bronze tablet dedicated in honor of Mayor Roesch and installed in 1937 was created by William Ehrich. The building’s interior is cooled in the summer utilizing a system that catches breezes blowing in from the west off Lake Erie, channeling them into the basement for passive geothermal cooling, and then directed into the building’s air ventilation system. The top of the building features an open-air observation deck, which can be accessed via elevator, with a total of eight elevators serving the building on the lower floors, reducing in number for the smaller upper floors.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is one of the best examples of municipal Art Deco architecture in the world, and stands as a prominent symbol of the city of Buffalo, being one of the largest and tallest municipal buildings in the United States, and being prominently sited west of most of the skyscrapers in the city. The building helps create a major focal point on Niagara Square, and a sense of enclosure for the visual axis running west Court Street from Lafayette Square, located a few blocks to the east.
