About the artwork

Music is an infinite inspiration for me and many with me. I regularly give the AI <compoer + title> as a prompt in my favourite style to turn this inspiration into images.

A piece of music that everyone will recognise, even if they don't like classical music, is Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons'. In this case, the prompt started like this: "Summer inspired by the four seasons by Vivaldi, loose impressionist watercolour painterly".
In the image, you can still hear the birds whistling and the crickets chirping, and it's oppressively warm before a thunderstorm.

Or as Vivaldi himself penned it in 1725 (unrhymed translation from Italian):
(Allegro non molto)
Under the scorching season of the high sun
the man languishes, the flock languishes and the pine tree burns;
The voice of the cuckoo dissolves, quick of understanding
Still sings the dove and the chaffinch
A gentle breeze brings movement, but deviates
suddenly North and blows them aside
And the shepherd shivers, why not,
honestly fearing the storm, and his fate;
(Adagio e piano - Presto e forte)
It deprives his weary legs of rest,
that fear of lightning and fierce thunder
And the mosquitoes, the flies, they buzz furiously !
(Presto)
Ah, that alas your fears are true
The heavens thunder with lightning and hail
Decapitating the wheat and damaging the grain.
