Hi 71,
I like this winter landscape, but my skin is itching for spring as well. Your opening stanza was very reminiscent of a watercolor snow-scape painted wet-on-wet. I would select a dilute payne's gray and cerulean hue to match your palette and atmosphere. Once dry, your hawk would be sharply rendered in dry-brush. The result would be just as you described.
Those grasshopper men were a delight, as were the kites. Don’t you want the sun ‘reigning’ over the wind? I not certain if you wish the sun to ‘rule the wind’ or ‘rein it in’, but that could be my problem.
