Love the soft feeling of your painting. Like your trees and foreground grasses.

Hi Marisa.  Everything looks pretty good ...you have a nice glowing, atmospheric look to the background.  The warmth in the foreground really helps separate the two planes.  To push those mountains back even further, your pine trees need to be darker .....refrain from mixing any white into your tree dark mixes.  Those should be a warm dark and transparent.  When you are painting distant greens ..i find to be difficult ....mix your value of blue first and then put the yellow into that pile ..try to keep it toward blue/green.  If it is too yellow, then mix some atmosphere color into it.  ...
