All the highlights and shadows are now finished on the snow and all over the rest of the mural.

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.

A PRODUCTIVE DAY IN SPITE OF IT'S BEGINNING
I'm trying to finish the Middle Value phase of my mural painting process by tomorrow early afternoon so I can get approval to bill for another payment on the mural by this weekend. All of the managers I have to go through to get approval, will be on vacation Wednesday through Saturday of this week. Because of this self imposed deadline, I'm really hustling to reach my goal by tomorrow. Today I worked 12 hours, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. I actually left for work at 5:30 a.m. this morning, but because of a traffic jam caused by a multi-car accident, I was stranded for about 45 minutes. It actually only takes about 15 minutes to get to the project site from where I live. I could have started an hour earlier had the accident not occurred. Just in case, tomorrow I'm taking the back roads to work so I can start work by 6 a.m. In spite of the late start, I was able to reach my painting goal for the day. The goal wad to finish the grasses and lay in the basic colors for the middle ground. Tomorrow, I'm going to get all the trees done and a few other minor odds and ends in the mural --- and all this by mid-afternoon. I;m starting to get some pleasing color relationships.
