This is about as much as I will do for a mock up -practice acrylic run. Will likely cut this board in half and use just the right side.

working on the figure a bit

Adding color to the sky

working on the background.  Oddly, the sky looks light blue in the photo, which is the plan, but so far I have not done anything with the sky and it is actually totally white at this point.

adding some background - from my imagination - will return to work on the horse further next

will add some stables and hills
