Layer By Layer

When I last showed you this painting, it looked like this.
It all needed work, so I started at the top with Alta Peak, worked my way down the hills, and moved into the flatlands. The original photo is not square, so I cropped it, but then squeezed in every detail I could find from the flatland area, including 2 barns.
Two matching barns looked dumb, so I tore one down.
The orange trees need oranges. The orange groves need frost protection; that means when it dries I will add wind machines.

Besides fruit and frost protection and a signature, this one needs a title. It might also need to have the fog or smoke removed, and a bit more texture and detail in all the layers of hills and mountains.
