Stuart, Christine, Michael, and Kim, Thank you for taking the time to comment. 

Michael, The blue sky was a conscious decision. Thanks for asking.

Very Turner style

Looking at your limited value studies.I notice  you had no subtle sky peering through the top left.This is so much stronger now. I think it makes the composition work, as the blue of the sky pins the the treeline bottom right.

What decided you to add the sky? Was it a conscious decision or just gut feel?

Beautiful,Rick. You have such a masterful touch. Sensitive and assured.
