Hey! Thanks for the suggestions. To answer your medium question, it’s thick acrylics on a 36"x48" canvas. I’ve begun some of the larger sections, but I think I’ll run with your idea about darkening the ground to reflect the night/early morning lighting. That’s a really good point. I haven’t started that area at all, so it’s pretty easy to switch up colours there.
There WAS a plan as to which colours would represent how many layers of smoke there were. That plan was tossed out the window somewhere along the way, and I may have very well gotten carried away with the number of shades/hues. I’ll look at my pallete and see if I can trim the fat.
Elevation- this one is inspired by an ice fishing village that sets up nearby every winter, which is why there is a ring like that (ice is shoveled off to allow people to set up their shacks, and then people create this distinct array of lines surrounding the area to tell people how far onto the ice they can go safely.)

Very interesting, thanks for the reply. Looking forward to the finished work!
