posts and buttons not showing up

i'm pretty sure i've duplicated the code from the tutorial correctly but for some reason it's not pulling both of my work posts and the buttons are not showing up in my demo site. As a side note I have added homepage images and button colors to the work posts I've created. Any thoughts?

<div class="grid_12 omega clearfix"> <?php

$args = array(
        'post_type' => 'work'
    );
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?> <div class="grid_6 spotlight project" style="background-color: <?php the_field('background_color'); ?>">

        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
            <img src="<?php the_field('homepage_image'); ?>">
        </a>

        <h4>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title( ); ?></a>
        </h4>

        <?php thefield('description'); ?>

        <p>
            <a class="btn blue" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" style="background-color: <?php the_field('button_color'); ?>">
                View Project &rarr;
            </a>
        </p>

</div>
