Hey, @PicsoAi - Why is my painting "After the Dance" being used in your app? You didn't license my art. Ironic that you're using a traditional painting to represent your app's ability to generate AI art that is supposed to look like traditional art.

Here is a video of this tiny painting. "Cassandra's Lament". It's just 5 inches in diameter which made the face less than an inch tall. I'm going to do a larger version of this one soon.

Do the right thing @PicsoAi and reach out to pay me for the past use of my art and if you want to continue, the future use as well. You're making money with my art by including it in your app.
