OK, so here is the absolute final version! I did a few tweaks.

I decided I wasn't quite finished with it. I worked more on the hair and eyes, etc. Here is a semi-decent picture of the hair close up:

I wanted  a new piece to enter into the upcoming call for artists that will be on display at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens. I'm very pleased with this one! I took this picture with my phone, ha. This was one of those pieces that just falls together - and this time in just 3 hours! These are the ones I love.
