William Van Doren, SE OVER SW (S.E. Sky at Sunset, from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.
The western horizon was mostly a web of gray contrails, so I turned at sunset to the view nearly opposite, in the southeast and south – almost exactly the same perspective I would use, and have used, for a January sunrise. Just to confuse matters, the small mountains nearby are called by the name Southwest.
