FINISHED .... I think! Famous last words of artists at the end of their painting journey. It was very difficult getting a good photo because of the size and winter conditions.  I let it dry for a bit before I went in to push and pull light and colour.  After almost completing it, I realized the background hills were too warm and were competing with the foreground. I glazed blue over all the hills and painted the very distant mountains with cobalt blue and white (they were more purple).  I wanted the foreground hills to have a glowing effect and they had to be warmer than the background.
Painting is definitely good for the brain as you're constantly problem solving! Onto the next one.
