Gary, When you are finished with this backdrop.......go search your Geneology.......Rembrandt, or one of the other masters has to be back there somewhere.
The stippling "practice" looks great.....just a reminder,...don't "overdetail" the background ( the structures are great ), the eye should be drawn to the foreground. Motion Picture matte paintings really don't have much detail, but when watching the movie, the mind sees all the detail that's not there. When you really look closely at an oil painting, it's more blobs of color than one would think.
There's just something about watching someone excel, at what they are trying to do.........

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
