(This one started out being a softer piece, but as I grew frustrated with its progress, I sliced into it and mutilated it until it looked like this.  There is literally blood sweat and tears in and on it.)

(Funny thing about this one, when I first started, the little girl wasn't very cute and people were only worried about the dog.  When I re-painted her, people suddenly cared about the girl.)
