Breath of fresh air indeed! Truly beautiful, Celeste! I love the blues and greens you've used and I so easily picture the ride the girls and I took so many years ago now when we drove down to Disneyland from Tacoma. Beauty as far as the eyes could see and especially so in Oregon. So wonderful...
Great painting! On the way home from Grand Rapids, I shot this look of expansive sky and flat terrain from the car thinking it would make a great painting--and it did! Thanks for painting it for me, now I don't have to.
My grandmother used to say that when you can see enough blue in the sky, to make a pair of trousers (pants) for a sailor - then the weather was set fine. Yours is set fine enough for the whole crew. Love it!

Esos celestes (como tu nombre)en tu óleo son pura poesía, amiga! ...pura poesía!
Esta pintura es maravillosa, de verdad.
Te felicito.
Abrazos, y besos, Celeste.

Maritza is right; this is a heavenly sky--beautiful colors.
Gorgeous painting, Celeste!
Gorgeous painting, Celeste!
Beautiful. You've said so much with this small canvas. Love those blues.
Lovely painting Celeste. Great composition and your clouds are terrific! Great painting!
Love the wispy edges of your clouds. I can feel the wind blowing! Also love the very low horizon line. Very powerful.
Great colors in the foreground set this piece up nicely.
I love the transparent, ethereal feel of this. Terrific!
