Wow thanks Michael i did try to get other colors but it was like the colors just faded onto the darker blues but maybe after it dries more the colors will stick i may be using too much of the walnut oil but i will try next weekend thanks for your comments

Sherry, make all those blues in your mountain, trees, and rocks as your underpainting ...now paint back into those elements ..lighter and greyer values in the mountains ..warmer as you come forward.  Darker and warmer tones in your trees and rocks.  Then paint warmer tones for your lights ..just paint right over what you have.  For instance:  Your trees could be mixed from UB + Burnt Sienna ..with the BS dominant in the mix.  OR ..UB + Yellow + red .keeping it warm.  Then over paint that with your greens mixed from various mixes of blues and yellows.  Your darks in the rocks would be mixed from UB + Reds + a little yellow.  Then bounce up warm reflected lights into that.  Your warm lights would be mixes of  Yellow + Red + White + a small amount of blue.   To get the grayed greens of the background ..mix small amounts of yellow into your blue mountain color ..add some aliz. crimson ...
