View through a skylight in ink

I was getting quite nervous about the end of this section - I'd set myself something really difficult to do, as you'll see - and on my first try, it didn't work out. I was quite upset over it, and thought I'd do something easier so I could feel like I'd accomplished something that day. This was the result. In the room that we call 'the Garden Room' there are a few velux windows in the ceiling, and through one of them you can see the chimney at a really great angle. I tried to make it as colourful as possible (within reason!) to contrast the interior with the sky and sunshine outside. I used my biggest brush for the black background (foreground?) but the brushstrokes are still very visible, which is a bit of a shame.
