Evolution of a Painting

So this is a delayed post as I haven't had a chance to work since late last week due to a very busy work schedule. I am looking forward to getting back at it in the next few days.

I have to admit that having some sky in this painting was worrying me. I have been painting these dark, hidden spaces for such a long time now that I am almost a little afraid to open things up. Well I solved my issue by refusing to consider blue as a sky color. I mixed a little ochre with white and ended up with a sort of golden, late fall sky which I am really happy with. Maybe next time I will take a detail of the paint texture because it has a very heavy feeling to it.
