"Joy"

These came out a bit funny but they made me laugh so I am including them


(I especially love that the AI thought this was a good time to hold hands )

I just talked with my boyfriend about creating art through AI and came to this thread literally a few minutes after I spoke with him about it

Love it!

Wow! This gives me goosebumps!

yes! The 2guys look SO alike... it came to my mind, maybe it is "holding hands with yourself"!? I never pictured "Joy" as laughing out loud. It always was something calm, while huge, to me. Even something that I have inside of me, that's lighting me up... but that doesn't really let me "show teeth"

It's fascinating!

How interesting! I wonder how others picture joy ~ I guess we all have a slightly different sense of it

now I'm curious what you would call the state of being in the pictures I called "joy"!

You mean, how would I name them? They both feel like "overflowing with joy" to me. They all seem to be borderline not being wholly able to believe what they are experiencing... like, a huge wish having been fulfilled, something that we often describe with "I almost can't believe it"...

How would you name this pictures? Is "Joy" the perfect headline here, for you?

It's no AI, but a collage I did, that resembles "Joy" for me... Joy comes in so many forms

"overflowing with joy" is a fantastic way to put it!

I loved seeing your versions of joy! It seems to apply over a wider range of emotions than it did in my mind. You're right! It makes sense that joy would include pleasure, love, coziness, satisfaction, togetherness, fun, appreciation, interest, abundance, freedom, exhilaration, deliciousness, expansion of thought and so much more. So interesting how a seemingly simple word can be pictured differently for each person!

If others want to play, I'd love to see your versions of Joy (or whatever you feel inspired to "paint") too!

Thought this could be fun way to put my dreams. On Sunday I dreamt that I was on a cruise ship and whales were following me

Today I dreamt a dog sliding to the pool with a skateboard somewhere in Caribbean. He was joyful!

I guess my soul is longing for fun travels again <3
