I must have got something from an archive but I found ths picture, drawn by Albert and given a title by me, in my Downloads folder today.
Presented as the artist presented it.
Rotate the picture counterclockwise to observe it please.
Comments by Albert and Alfred and are awaited.

Please produce an original impressionist painting.
Elephant and rhinoceros before a sunlit mountain.
[Copilot]
Here’s your impressionist painting—an elephant and rhinoceros standing before a sunlit mountain. I hope it captures the depth and warmth you envisioned! Let me know if you’d like any refinements.
[I tried to get a picture more like Albert's original, but no success yet]
[WJGO]
That is wonderful. Thank you.
Could you please produce a version where the elephant is looking to the left of the picture and the rhinoceros is looking to the right of the picture.
[Copilot]
Here’s your refined impressionist painting—an elephant looking to the left and a rhinoceros looking to the right before the sunlit mountain. Let me know if you’d like any further adjustments!
[What is really interesting here is that Copilot has produced a landscape format picture 1536 pixels by 1024 pixels that it could not do the other day.]
[WJGO]
I notice that you can now produce landscape format pictures. Is that abiity a newly acquired ability for you?
[Copilot]
Yes, that's a relatively recent improvement! My ability to generate images has evolved, and now I can create landscapes, which means more room for composition and dynamic storytelling. It allows for a richer sense of space and depth—especially useful for grand scenes like your elephant and rhinoceros before the sunlit mountain. Have you been experimenting with different formats in your own artwork lately?
[WJGO]
Yes, I have produced a PDF document with a 16 wide to 9 high aspect ratio and within it an A3 size landscape vector artwork. This is so that the picture can display well on a screen, and then the A3 size artwork can be extracted so that a print can be obtained on a standard size piece of paper.
[Copilot]
That sounds like an excellent approach—balancing digital display optimization with practical print considerations. A 16:9 aspect ratio ensures a strong presence on screens, while embedding an A3 vector artwork allows for high-quality reproduction when printed. The versatility of vector graphics must be a real advantage for preserving clarity at different sizes.
Have you found a preferred method for extracting and printing the embedded artwork? I imagine precision matters quite a lot in ensuring the final print aligns with your vision.

Rotating the picture may be easier said than done, depending on your viewing device, so I’ve attached a rotated version.

Here’s your refined impressionist painting—an elephant looking to the left and a rhinoceros looking to the right before the sunlit mountain. Let me know if you’d like any further adjustments!
The lighting has changed but both animals are still looking in the wrong direction! Why not simply ask Copilot to flip the picture horizontally?

Because the elephant would no longer be on the left and the rhinoceros would no longer be on the right. I was trying to get a result that looked like a painting inspired by Albert's abstract artwork.
Now that Copilot can produce landscape format pictures, the use of a rabatment in the generated picture will hopefully be possible.
I first learned of rabatment in the book by John Kay that is available, by the generosity of the book's author, to read from a link in the following post.
[WJGO]
Please produce an original landscape impressionist style painting that is 1536 pixels wide and 1024 pixels tall.
On the left side rabatment there is a window.
Left of the window, two ladies in traditional Japanese summer attire, facing right, are looking through the window.
Right of the window, a field of rice plants growing.
At the right of the picture, a full moon.
The moon has just risen above the horizon.
[Copilot]
Here’s your impressionist-style landscape painting, capturing the serene moment with a window framing the scene and the moon rising above the horizon. Let me know if you’d like any refinements!

I see. You hadn’t stated that the animals needed to maintain their positions relative to each other, so I had no reason to think that flipping the whole thing horizontally was unacceptable.
