William Theodore Van Doren. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.

Overcast and about to rain.

I was driving through the Alley Field (named for the narrow lane of grass at its entrance) with the firewood I’d just cut, when a fantastically vivid red leaf fluttered down through the branches in the woods just to my left – at an odd angle – and a little too fast. 

Cardinal.
