Mural: For High School Dance

I was asked to help out with a mural for my high school's winter dance. Their theme was under the sea. They provided me with the design they wanted done for the mural, and I drew it out on the pre-primed canvas. I painted on my own for four days. On the third day, a couple girls from the Apollo art club did help out in the painting process. Day four was the last day I could work on the mural, so I did as much as could to bring the mural along.

Stage 1: Began painting today after I roughly drew the
 main contours of the piece 

Stage 2: Painting in the boat today

Stage 3: Added in rocks, sails and some high school art
 students began painting coral and seaweed on top right rock

Stage 4: Last day I had to work on the mural. Began putting
 in the brightly colored plants and coral.
