William Van Doren, I’VE GOT A TIGER BY THE TAIL. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

High winds, tornado watch, and a somewhat crazy sky, so I played the wonderful record of this title by Buck Owens (a crossover country and pop hit in 1965) ... let’s see ... exactly 25 times while I was painting.
