Alice's Appointment

Story:
"Alice please, just tell me why you thought tearing up the flower bed was a good idea." As I could tell by her tiny smile and glittering eyes, she really thought there was nothing wrong. "Upon the petals they would hiss, so I had to swing and swing, no matter how many times I would miss." Her riddles had wracked my brain for endless nights, I couldn't let her win this, she knew that her words bothered me. However, I would continue asking questions. "Alice. Do you want me to take your rabbit away again? Hm? The last time I took your rabbit was because you threw a teapot at one of the nurses. You remember that don't you?" Her head tilted a little in her tiny hands, "Why yes my dear doctor, I threw the pot, but I told her once and told her twice that in MY tea I don't like mice." I pinched the bridge of my nose and merely shook my head. This girl, this child, was going to be the death of me, and if I know her well enough, she will recite a riddle at my funeral just to spite me. "Just go back to your room Alice. Your punishment, I will choose later." As I watched her leave the room with the nurse, her rabbit hanging by her side, all I could wonder was if I truely enjoyed her riddles and liked her company. Course, us doctors are not known to grow a type of 'relationship' with our patients, but still, she was growing on me, like a weed that was turning into a rose.

This was the most difficult piece ever! It took me a good month to work on. Especially the background, I made that thing out of scratch. Then the models were just plain hard to find. Especially the exact ones I wanted to use. Then the placement came, not that hard. Then deciding whether to have something in the background or not, decided to put xrays and those inkblot tests. The rabbit and coffee cup was an afterthought. The most difficult was the color mixtures and the shadows. I had to take so many breaks just so I wouldn't throw my laptop across the room.
I feel as though something is still missing, but I'll figure it out once I finish my 2D design collages. (school work)

I do hope that you all enjoy this.
