Here is the first piece of the series &#8211; &#8220;Gilding the Lily I &#8211; Hannah Leigh.&#8221; It took about 2 1\/2 weeks to paint, which is much quicker than I originally estimated, but it&#8217;s been pretty much all I&#8217;ve worked on. Except for finishing &#8220;Like Tears in Rain,&#8221; and arranging shoots and shooting for upcoming pieces. I&#8217;m going to guesstimate around 50 hours. Those four bright dots in the upper right\u00a0are gold leaf and there is also a tiny spot of gold leaf on her spider bite. It&#8217;s all transparent watercolor with the tiny bits of gold leaf, about 21&#215;29 on a 22&#215;30 sheet of 300 lb.
