Sunset, Tuesday, 3 August 2010

William Van Doren. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

The sunset really took place, in the sense of saying good-bye to the sun, about ten minutes before the sunset proper, and in such a maze of cloud and color it was enough to make a painter want to sit down and cry. Either that or maybe call in sick.
