Changing the direction

 

Based on the pace of what I've been doing on the sky and clouds, I've determined I wouldn't be able to finish this painting by my target date. So I'm changing the course slightly. I'm now making the edges of shapes sharper and straighter without blurring them with softer brushstrokes. Look at the right edges of those high clouds. Looking more like geometric shapes. That's fine to me. I'll keep curving them out by defining negative spaces/shapes with straight edges.
I don't have much expectation how the end result would be now.

 Sharpened the edges of the dark ground against water and sky. Then adjusted/added colors of the bottom of sky and the bottom band of orange clouds. This part contains the highest dark&light contrast of this painting.
