Icelandic Horse painting WIP ~ 3

Just need to do a few touch ups on the sky and clouds.
Started with the first and second wash of color on the mountains in the background. You can easily see the differences in each application of color.
Snow covered mountains in the far left of the picture are pretty much finished. Also started working on the bright blue water on the left of the painting.

A Close up of what I have done so far. The background is an composite of many photographs I have taken of the Puget Sound in WA.
