Waterfall Wildlife Painting Background Done

Well, I finally finished the background in my waterfall wildlife painting! It may need a touch or two here and there, maybe some more fallen leaves on the rocks. But overall it's pretty much done. Now comes the fun part, the animals! Besides being the fun part, it's also the scary part. I've spent so long on the background that if I don't get the animals just right it could ruin the whole look and feel I'm going for. Yikes! I think I'll wait until the background is really, really dry before adding the animals. That way if they aren't looking just right and I wipe them off and start over without messing up the background. :)
