I have drastically changed my piece, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it yet. The framework was supposed to be a dark maroon, but looks more like brown after it dried. I added swirls to the bottom, and at the last minute, did the striped design on the top. Then, I pulled in the frame and left a little bit of gray in the background. I am calling it finished for now, but I am planning on going back in and slightly (or drastically) changing the color scheme. At the moment, the piece looks like cave art.
Here is my "final" piece!
