William Van Doren, Sunset from Skyline Drive, Rockingham County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

In a sense this is the opposite of my usual perspective, which is looking up at the Blue Ridge. Here I’m on the ridge, at 3125 feet, looking down (at the Shenandoah Valley). On the way to Big Meadows, below Lewis Mountain. In the haze the ridge of Massanutten Mountain was barely distinguishable.
