McKinley Mountain in acrylic

Here's Mt. McKinley with the trees added.  I don't know if I'm happy with the shading on the lower mountains, but I've tried to correct it and it just doesn't fit, so I'll leave it for now.   Bob Ross now puts in a bunch of trees so I'll have to practice trees so I don't ruin this.  I finally got the shading thing he does now with the dry paintbrush.  For a beginner, this works a lot better in acrylic than oils - the brushes are easier to clean.  

After a week, my oil canvas is dry so I can start the clouds! 

First attempt at trees in acrylic.
