This evening I busted out the paints on a whim.
The original idea was something totally different. Lots of oranges and reds and explosions and whatnot. But when I did the sky, I liked the intense blue so much that I left it. It still needs something, though, and I'm not sure what. It strikes me that the horizon should be a little lower if it was to stand on its own the way it is... so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I just know it would be a shame to cover that blue too much. I might end up doing a modification of my original idea. That's the beauty of acrylics. I can leave it for now and come back to it later and no harm done.
I've hung it up in my living room just so I can catch glances of it every now and again and maybe figure how to finish it.

Can it be from the perspective of someone lying down looking towards the horizon at their feet? Or maybe the view from a valley or low lying area?
I've already altered it (you saw it on Saturday), and I figured out what to add. I might get around to it later this week. Painting is so procedurally finicky, though. I usually don't have the time until late at night, then I'm lazy to take out the paints and brushes and water and cover everything with newspaper and etc. etc.
