The sky looks like it should be the backdrop for a religious icon. I have replaced most of the blue sky, as for some reason I loathe blue skies, at least the ones I paint. This creates a bit of a dilemma for a landscape painter but maybe a more interesting route can be found in the solution. This painting has the appearance of a painting by numbers exercise, but as I drew it out and mixed the paint I am hoping a more sophisticated result will emerge. Its still my intention to produce something a bit more abstracted and less illustrative and I think this will work.
