Thank you.

As a result I have remembered that the National Gallery in London has a triptych and the two side panels each have an angel playing a musical instrument. I think that one is in green clothing playing an instrument like an early version of a violin and the other one is in red playing another instrument but whether it is a trumpet or a lute or something else I do not remember. If I remember correctly the one on the left is the one in green.

Maybe some of the images made in Affinity Designer or Microsoft Paint.

I wonder how much detail one can put in a prompt and it all be included in the painting.

The most detailed that I have used are as follows.

Please produce an original painting in the style of Claude Monet of a lady in a long green dress feeding an okapi in a garden where there is a pond with water lilies in flower.

and

Please produce an original painting in the style of Van Gogh of a lady reading haiku to an elephant in a field of flowering lavender with a Roman aqueduct in the background.

Earlier this morning I decided to try to get a painting of Puffing Billy by first asking Bing Chat AI to tell me about Puffing Billy then later asking the AI to produce the painting. First asking for a painting without mentioning Impressionist in case that was muddling the AI to choose locomotives from the Impressionist era.]

Please tell me about the British steam locomotive named "Puffing Billy".
“Puffing Billy” is the world’s oldest surviving steam locomotive123. It was constructed in 1813–1814 by colliery viewer William Hedley, enginewright Jonathan Forster, and blacksmith Timothy Hackworth for Christopher Blackett, the owner of Wylam Colliery near Newcastle upon Tyne, in the United Kingdom1.

The locomotive was employed to haul coal chaldron wagons from the mine at Wylam to the docks at Lemington in Northumberland1. It was one of the first steam locomotives to transport coal from Wylam Colliery to Lemington Staithes on the River Tyne4.

“Puffing Billy” was built to replace the horses used as motive power on the tramway1. The locomotive was successful as a prototype, but underpowered and prone to stalling when overloaded or faced by a gradient1. Despite these challenges, it paved the way for the development of the rail industry4.

Today, “Puffing Billy” is on static display at the Science Museum in London1. It serves as a testament to the early days of steam-powered transportation and the industrial revolution.

Please produce an original painting of the British steam locomotive named "Puffing Billy".

[Some pictures were produced, similar looking to LMS Black 5s but not them. Three 4-4-0 and one 4-6-0]

Please find a picture of the British steam locomotive named "Puffing Billy".

I found some images of the British steam locomotive “Puffing Billy”. You can view them on the Wikipedia page or on Getty Images. Please note that actual images may vary, and I recommend checking multiple sources for the most accurate representation.

Please produce an original painting of the British steam locomotive named "Puffing Billy" based on those images.

[Four more images of locomotives, one had a cow catcher fitted.]

[So is it impossible to get the AI system to produce a painting of Puffing Billy?]

A kind person fixed the locomotive picture.

I note that in the AI poems thread, when the AI had the page from my first novel about Edith and the parsnips in its side panel, the AI used the information to write a poem. Yet thus far I cannot get the AI to use the images of Puffing Billy. Is it impossible or can it be done?

There is a steam locomotive Puffing Billy.

So I thought that a nice impressionist picture of Puffing Billy would be good, so I asked Bing Chat AI as follows.

Please produce an impressionist painting of the Puffing Billy locomotive.

And I got three pictures of American Wild West type locomotives as in cowboy movies and one of a locomotive from maybe 1910 or so.

So I did a restart and tried again.

Please produce an original impressionist painting of the British Puffing Billy locomotive.

So I got some pictures of British-looking locomotives from around 1900 to 1910.

So I did a rerstart and tried again.

Please produce an original impressionist painting of the 1813 British locomotive named "Puffing Billy".

So this time some earlier locomotives, perhaps around 1870.

So no Puffing Billy at this time.

However, one of the pictures is, in my opinion, rather stylish as an impressionist painting as it has the locomotive reflected in water.

Upon closer inspection there are some inconsistences.

Can you spot them?

So, can Affinity Designer software be used to improve the image, and is it possible to get the Bing Chat AI system to produce an impressionist painting of Puffing Billy?
