It took me a moment to gain the proper perspective on this one, which is really good because it engaged me. This is like the mere spin on M.C. Escher's "Drawing Hands". I'm really digging the way you framed the piece.

meredith Thanks Lars! I wanted to really draw into the perspective. At the time emotionally i felt like i was on top of the world, and i could see everything that no one else could see.. and of course from my view their is always curly tendrils of hair framing the central focus. Not too sure about my overall happiness, but i stopped before i kept going too far, and messed up the overall concept with a bunch of crap.
This is the view that we all see really, we have our frame, the Scenery.. and our hands in front of us, and its all about what we can do with them to set the scenery and make our dreams come true.
It also tells me at this very moment i should be working on my projects..
I'm still not really in the right frame of mind to be commenting on things, but I have been pondering this for a few days now. Personally I could have done without all the brown in the foreground and left simply the blue figure. It's as if the brown is engulfing it like clutter of sorts. As it stands it all looks like kind of a mess and I'm not really sure what's going on. The face though is really beautiful.

meredith It's meant to be from my eyes perspective. The brown represents my hair that is always in my frame of vision (if i have my hair down), thanks for your thoughts, Carly. Always appreciated. :]
As Lars pointed out this for me is Escher in Mere form. I think all the colours balance out beautifully actually. Nothing is too cluttered for me and everything sits just right. I really like how you are exploring other colours too and making them as much a part of the piece as the other elements.
