A sky representing Gandalf, specifically a good morning; is the aim of the painting here. I hope the comments below will explain the skies-made-man well enough. I found a marvellous place in Oxford to see just such a sky, it is called Tidmarsh Lane but the view is very much Bag-End/The Oxford Castle Mound across The Water/The Oxford Canal . With very few changes, this is the view Bilbo would have looked on when setting out or returning from his adventure. For more see the April painting.
All that the unsuspecting Bilbo saw that morning was an old man with a staff. He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf over which his long white beard hung down below his waist, and immense black boots. ~H 15.29-.32
AD April 15/25 April SR morning up to 10 AM
Gandalf is dressed like the dawn sky; from top to bottom, there would be a sky blue hat overhead with brightening silver and white clouds like Gandalfs scarf and beard. Cloaking the lower sky would be a grey not-yet-in-the-sun cloud over the horizon in the low ground or far distance
Gandalf means adventure, Gandalf means Fairyland. Fairyland comes upon Bilbo with the arrival of Gandalf a land beyond the normal run of hobbits. Bilbo has entered a secret gate and will enter more such gates while adventuring. The adventure has begun, although Bilbo has not quite noticed it.
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or secret gate;
And though oft I have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
