March was a harsh month

April will be better!

March 2024 was a harsh month for me. All the family got sick, and I got to enjoy two different viruses during the month.

Even though I had pledged to myself that I would continuously post an image every day, I found that I could not find the will to make an effort to sit at my computer just to do that and push it out to you.

As of April 1st, I should be back to publishing an image for each day and writing more posts for the general newsletter. I created images that illustrate this post to match my March gloominess.

Both of these images were created from the same base prompt:

A realistic oil painting, in the style of Caravaggio, of a well-groomed man, wearing glasses, staring out of a window of an apartment on the 4th floor, overlooking a street with traffic, in the afternoon. The day has a gloomy atmosphere with moist streets and dark loaded clouds overhead. The room is poorly lit and only the man's profile can be seen, highlighted by the light from outside. --chaos 10 --ar 16:9 --stylize 400

The first more closely matches the intent of my prompt, but I also liked this second one, which has a much younger lad.
