This is the progress so far. All the elements are here and the background is more or less in place. After I do the figures, if there's time, I'll refine the background to direct focus where I want it. I know right off that the green hills in the background need to be dulled a bit. In light of the deadline, I may just refine it in Photoshop.
This is a process shot showing the underpainting and how I work from background to foreground. Doing it this way helps me to establish the overall lighting of the scene so I know how to paint the important bits: the figures! Trick is to always keep in mind atmospheric perspective. It's so easy to put more detail in the background than you need to.
