I was able to work a little more on this today. I ended up making the foreground way too dark and had to do something or throw the painting away. I chose instead to use some acrylic gouache on it to lighten it up and add to the sort of fantasy feel of the painting. Not sure I am completely happy with it.
I am thinking maybe I will crop this one and make it rectangular instead.

I still need to finish the tail and then I think I will call it finished.
