William Van Doren, BOLD DECEIVER (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.I’ve misused the term, from an Irish folk song, which, depending on how you decide to sing it, means either a highwayman (“I am a bold deceiver”) or an official scoundrel associated with the Crown (“you are a bold deceiver”). Here I simply mean the sky was showing all sorts of bright color to a brutally cold landscape.
