The Crystal Palace

Well, this one took much longer than it should have, but here it is at last. At first, I thought I'd make this follow H. C. Anderson's original description of the palace grounds in "The Little Mermaid", right down to the red and blue willow trees. Clearly, things didn't quite go as planned, but I'm happy enough with the results.

Also, some of you may have noticed that I've started adding my signature in few different places throughout a given work. I'm hoping this will deter thieves and make it easier to settle such disputes outside of court, should they arise. I try not to make these signatures too obnoxious to the viewer - in fact, try to think of it as a game - can you find all three signatures hidden in this piece? (Llamas for those who can! )
