So far, I have spent about 12 hours on my beach construction. Today, I finished the layers leading up to the construction of the surfaces (about 6 layers in most of the painting). I still have to put in the grass. Although parts of the painting look disconnected, it is exactly the way I want the surfaces to look. The grass should pull it all together when it is finished. And, I probably have at least 20 more hours on this painting.
