Along with solving areas which were difficult to design, I have to be concerned about the balance of light and dark. I have felt some of the areas have been too dark for the clients taste, so today, I pulled out some more patches of light, warmed some areas which will remain on the darker side for contrast, simplified some areas and changed a tree color. Overall, the mural is beginning to work well, so now it's the marathon to the finish.
I also added a bull and cow moose. The cow is okay where it is at, but after blocking in the moose, I realize now that proportion wise, the bull is too small, especially compared to the rocky mountain goat ram at the base of the falls. I could let it go, but the mural will be viewed by some VIP's. I have to be accurate and professional. Some of the employees say not to change it, but as for my gut feeling and for clear a conscience I will change it to the proper scale. After all, I am a professional and someone would eventually come along and notice it wasn't right.
