I should probably let you know Lily, This is one of my go-to rereads. Partially because of the title, but partially because I just love reading through the process.

I love seeing the behind the scenes! It's so interesting to see how a piece come to life (sorry you struggled with it so much though). I love how you got yourself unstuck!

Loved the BTS on the painting process - it's always fun to read how others create/write and see if there's something to learn (and congrats with the exhibit :))

Super cool post. I spent a lot of time reading the prompts in footnote 5 & 6 and comparing them to the output pictures. Fascinating to see how the specificity drives output. Makes me wonder what grips could do to improve “lighting” in a portrait. I remember the announcement about this painting. Congratulations and thanks for sharing this!

Really enjoyed this, Lily. Love a behind the scenes but the struggles behind the creation process (esp with AI) was super interesting. Finished piece is amazing 🌵

Such a generous revealing of yourself and your creative process. You will inspire people to make art, do something that scared them. I hope they leave a comment to let you/us know.
