Picture at an Exhibition – Sunset, Friday, 11 April 2014

William Van Doren, PICTURE AT AN EXHIBITION. Sunset from Woodberry Forest, Madison County, Va. Oil on Arches, 17 x 23.

Sneaked away from the lingering visitors at my show's reception to sketch sunset and rain over the Blue Ridge. Some music by Mussorgsky (see title) might work with this. THANKS to the wonderful people who came out last night and made my opening not only successful but fun — two qualities that don't always go together! Show is up til May 3rd.

May in Arles

In other news ... well, this is sort of a big deal. I’ve accepted an invitation to stage a solo exhibition in Arles, France, Saturday the 4th of May until the 25th, at the Arles Free Space gallery. Much more about this again as the time draws closer! Thanks to Babette Gallard for responding so warmly to this body of work.
