The sky uses the same blue ..it's just a question of density...the closer the dots, the deeper the hue. The more important question is : do I want to represent the natural look of the sky or just make it up as i go along?I think it's a mixture of the two,I suppose it's a little like the method a writer might use in a paragraph surmising the events of a period of time..in pictorial terms, it's showing different aspects of the sky seen at different times of the day in the same view.

I love that Magritte painting. But even though it's surreal, it is possible to see a clear sky and a shadowy landscape at times, when the landscape is right.
DM...You are right of course!..Nature throws up all permutations...they say "there is nothing new under the sun".
That's a tragic but true quote!
