The turmoil and great thing about oils is how long it takes to finish....sometimes. I like the way the foliage turned out so far on the vase. I added the mother and baby in the background to point out that not everyone woman who's had an abortion doesn't end up having a family. That's it's a decision that is not and should not be made lightly and it's a decision that every woman has the right to make for herself. I think the juxtaposition of the real baby and the images of babies born or unborn were necessary to show the full message of the piece. The edge where the wood cast a shadow needs to be more clearly defined. I like the way the wood turned out and I'm still tweaking it. The skulls on the edge of the vase has been redone, yet again. I'm still thinking about adding teeth or living them as they are. So I'll save that decision for when I'm finished with the rest of the vase. The shadow effect of the mother and child turned out quite well. I'm not quite happy with the background on the left yet, so it's going to be a little lighter. Looking at the baby resting on his mother I feel he needs hair.
