As with all my works, drawing represents the initial phase of the process.  At this point, the composition has been established and I am now going back into the details and developing each individual object.

Once the drawing is complete, the background gets built up with a series of thin layers, bringing the objects to life.

Each object is built up with a significant quantity of gold paint.  As the light changes throughout the day, so does the appearance of each painting and each individual object.  The gold catches the light in a remarkable way.
