Description

The "last version" of this was created in a bit of a frenzy (about 14 hours to completion), so it wasn't really finished. In my haste to upload it seems that I forgot to put the ear, eye and whiskers on the mechanical mouse and the barbed wire was hidden in amongst shadows. I hope this version causes a little less confusion ;) ~*@*~ Created in Photoshop V7. ~*@*~ Thanks for viewing :D

Or rather, Mother thinks she knows best! Some parents ignorantly gift their children with the wrong things while neglecting what really matters. Just sorry I didn't grasp the irony first time round L
Thanks for finishing this Cassie, those final tweaks make all the difference. Stunning work sweetie hugs :-)

Oh, my. Reminds me a little of my own "wise" mother and her idiotic ideas about what sort of junk I needed to be force fed... But other than the concept, the execution is really quite good. Nice composition. Did this in Photoshop, eh? How many layers, 2000? ;-) Really nice, I'm glad I saw this today.

this was worth to rework it - this was a unbelivable picture as you posted the first time - but now - dang!! - i have to sit down, and try to breath - this is really breathtaking - not only that it is a perfect painting (i really mean perfect), no, the subject matter is also brilliant - cassie, its a honor to know you - you are for sure a true artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I really didn't think it could get better but I love those extra little details & they do enhance your (already painfully clear!) message.

I didn't get the full impact of the first upload, but now that I have... shivers I'm sure those feathers on the wing are so soft. The mouse, funnily enough, also looks like a skull to me. The irony of it isn't lost in this one it leaps right out and smacks you. this is such an awesome piece of work, you captured things so brilliantly! huge hugs!
