Beautiful- Winslow Homer certainly was king of skies. My husband's grandmother owned an original watercolor called "Hello" depicting an owl with dower looking skies in the background.

Great image. Somehow it makes me think of Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series of stories too, And that's a good thing. :)
