IS THIS AN ICON?

I started to become aware that my blue sky landscape was resembling an icon. I may have pushed the sky a little too far towards gold leaf. In fact the whole scene has become quite Italianate, is it the steep hillside perspective? Maybe the appearance of some palm trees will convince this is still Mexico, maybe not. Anyway, I am happy with how it is going and will take the lesson on board.
