Work in progress

I've been working on my icicle painting. It's close to being done, but isn't yet. (I think. I could be wrong.) I kind of like the stage it's currently at, so I took a (bad) picture of it. I've been using acrylic paint, acrylic markers, and a tiny bit of oil-based sharpies.  The silver sharpie is reflective, which looks a bit odd in the picture.

So far I think maybe I've spent 4 or 5 afternoons on this, which is probably the most time I've ever spent on a painting. Usually two afternoons maxes out my patience. But, for some reason, working on this one has been really fun! I think it's because I love my acrylic markers. Such bright colors, and way less messy than paint.

Anyway, here it is (16 by 20 inches):
