Critique request, watercolor, surrealish landscape 

I got stressed and painted this thing today. It doesn't feel done, but I'm not sure what it's missing... I would like it to feel weirder and to have a stronger sense of space/place.

I think I like how the water came out, overall. It feels liquid. I don't think the sun and building worked out how I thought they would, but I'm not sure what to do different next time. The sky feels boring?

I've had kind of a hard day today, so I'd appreciate a soft touch, but critique very welcome.

Thanks for the feedback. Here's how it looks today

@starless All I can think of is that maybe it's too good? Like, in the sense that something can't really feel weird if it's balanced and harmonious. It's sort of missing a sense of tension.

I'm not really sure how you'd go about adding that tension though, and it might require some changes in composition that would require a second draft and not just some touch-ups. Stuff to think about at least though.
