Nicely done Laura.  Lovely sky.  Think in terms of atmospheric perspective.  As with the sky you could soften the horizon line back land mass a little.  How do feel about the values in the mid ground versus the foreground?  I do think you have the makings of a very nice, nuanced painting as seen by how you handle your greens in the midground.

Michael, You are a good teacher and I am not a too bad student.  

Olivia! I am so glad you like it. Olivia, in this case, I did put very little Crimson near horizon because the far away hill also have  Cramson in it. I don't want to create too much contrast between the hill and sky. And very often I put little bit Crimson on my sky color for clouse shadow. I hope I answered your question, Olivia.

lovely painting  Laura. When you went through the colours in your sky you didnt mention red and I see it quite

pinkish at the horizon. Is it  effect of photo?

Thank you so much Colleen, Stu for your encouragement!

Michael, you are kidding! the way how to paint sky exactly I learnt from you from your comments on my painting "Resting Place". I just follow your RECIPE: White add yellow( I use Cad yellow) and then gradually add little bit cerulean blue and UB from lower to up the sky. All my paintings since Resting Place the sky is much brigher and warmer. You are always the teacher! and Thank You!
