William Theodore Van Doren. Painted at Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.
The simple purity of the snowfields, bands of bright crystal and blue shadow, changes with falling light. Into the white comes faint gold, then soft rose, colors often seen in the winter sunset. As they deepen, auras of gold and rose over the white seem the work of real snow angels.
