Sure enough... Just as I suspected, the practitioner gave me a Z-Pak to treat me for potential Brochitis. He also recommended a more powerful allergy and decongestant mediation and he added a third blood pressure medication to the two I already take. Oh my, that is a total of 6 pills I currently have to take in a day. Old age, I guess ( I turned 53 last month ).
We spent the day getting rid of the hard lines in the blue twilight sky areas by blending with a soft dry brush. We were able to cover an area of about 5 feet by 200 feet straight across the sky, which is the full length of the mural. This means we are still on track to have most of the sky blocked in with more accurate colors including all the clouds by the end of the workday tomorrow. By the end of the week, I want people to know where I'm going with the colors, the composition and the mood in the sky, the mountains and the foreground at just a glance, even though it will be far from finished at this stage. I hope to be at the half-way point by the end of September, which means I really have to push it a little.

We tried to capture the twilight time of day. I think we were successful.

Even the tops of the trees indicate the last few moments early evening light.

Provo Canyon.

I love the way the shadows and light bring out the rock forms on Cascade Peak.
ELK CLOSE UP
I'm not really a wildlife painter, yet I feel pretty good about how this bull elk turned out.

Squaw Peak (the one with the red scrub oak trees on it's slopes) is mosly in shadow, but with a sliver of light at the top.

THis looks so real, it's like you can walk right through it! Pick any door.
