Newest Acrylics and Oil paintings

This is an acrylic I started in class a week ago. I still need to layer the water and add multiple layers to the detail. I thought I would just block it in with acrylic and finish it in oil but my instructor said it was looking good in acrylic so go with it. The location is in Burnt Church Canada, a reserve where my mother is from. So I'm hoping this will come out good enough to give as a gift to my brother who lives there.
