William Theodore Van Doren. Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on paper, 16 x 20.

If you leave it to the sky to describe itself, you get something that’s way too modest. Plain. (As plain as day.) Filled with complicated details – usually too many – but very, very plain.

Listening to the sky describe itself is like hearing your lover fret she’s ‘too this’ or ‘too that’ ... you just want to take her in your arms and say, “You idiot, you have absolutely no idea how beautiful you are.”
