Amy's art in progress.
See regular updates of my progress on each new painting.

I started sketching out the composition today.  Did I mention that this thing is big?  6 feet by 3 feet!  Wowza!

I started adding the water today.  I used blues and greens and some white.  Think I'm gonna need more paint.

I started adding the black lava today.  There are lots of colors in black lava actually.

I got some new paint so I added some new blueish greens to the water today. It helped show the contrast in the waves.  

I added more dark blue to the water in the background and I started adding some of the green plants on the lava.

I added more of the rocks in the foreground.

I made the rocks in the foreground a little bit darker to make them appear closer.  I also added some more of the white splashes in the water.

I worked on the leaves in the foreground and also started painting the shrubbery on the right side.

I worked on the water on the right side in the foreground.  I also added some more yellow to the leaves.

I worked on the water on the right side in the foreground again.  It has been annoying me all day.  I also worked on the waves on the left side as well.

I added some plants near the lava in the foreground.  I also added more leave on the right side.  I also worked on the grass in the background as well. 

I worked on the plants on the right side.  I added more dark brown/black contrast.

I added some pine needles in the foreground on the rocks in the middle. I also changed the shapes of the leaves on the right side and added some at the bottom of the left side.  I also made the water in the foreground have a bit more blue green in it.  I am finished now I think... more details to come.
