Distant is the view I have from my studio. Yes, I live on a hill and I used my artistic license to leave out everything in the foreground. It started out as an a totally non-representational abstract. It lingered in my studio for months. There were pieces of color and shapes that I had fallen in love with. They were causing me to be stuck. One day, I turned it 180 degrees. It was suddenly more landscape-like and just demanded big puffy clouds rising up in the air.  

Sometime, a painting just tells us what to do with it.
