A gentle wind breezing beneath a high cloudless sky.

the sun shines bright with a gentle wind breezing beneath a high cloudless sky.

I made up this sentence to describe a good weather.

I'm not sure whether "beneath" here and the whole sentence is all right .

please correct me with more idiomatic way to express it.

Sandy, This is how I approach this sentence. Beneath - I guess is ok. But personally, underneath would be my choice in this context.

The following is sufficient:

The sun is shining [bright / brightly] with a gentle wind beneath a cloudless sky.

breezing is not idiomatic, and high is really unnecessary.
