"Daphne" - Finally Finished

After more than a year's struggle (or was it two years?), I finally finished the painting Daphne. What a struggle! And for what? I don't even know why the classical theme matters any more in our time. If you are curious, you can see this work in one of the unfinished stages, posted on April 9, 2009 (Myths in My paintings), which was very near completion.
