More Blue

These mountains were an uphill climb the whole way...pun! It wasn't till about the last 5 minutes of the painting when slowly became satisfied. And its during those 5 minutes i go crazy with overlay and soft light layers. I feel like its a bad habit to rely on these tools but is it just a means to an end? If the end result is all I'm aiming for than I guess it's ok.... I guess. haha

And quick movie stills study of  "A Fist Full of Dollars" and Harry Potter
