Really like elements of this Pauline: the colour and vigour of the sky; the spikiness and texture of the foreground; the curve of land and the perspective of sky in relation to that curve.

What blues are you using in your sky? What size and kind of brushes are you using? Did you use a palette knife in the foreground?

The overall feel I'm getting is a dynamic sky, a coldness in the day. Those are my initial impressions anyway.

Thank you for sharing

best

Ok. I used Cerulean blue, Teal, Titanium white and Vermilion green.
I used a size 12 round brush for the colours and yes, I did use a palette knife for the foreground. (A Bob Ross 4cm knife. My favorite tool in my box )

Yay. That's what I was going for. However, I will say, I used artistic license. It was actually a glorious day.
The sun was splitting the trees.
The sky was completely cloudless
