William Theodore Van Doren, SOONER AND LATER (WE ALL SEE DOUBLE SOMETIMES) (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

This is an amalgam of skies I glimpsed on my drive before sunset, when clouds were bright, and at sunset, when they were dark. (Someone forgot to tell the clouds it was sunset.) Title borrowed from Charlottesville band The Bloody Angle.
