William Van Doren, FRIGHTFULLY CLEAR (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

Just a little smoky haze on the horizon. One of my sunset chores lately has been to feed two young feral cats living under a small barn a few hundred yards up the drive, a spot where I can also get a good view of the autumn sunset. I was thinking how fitting it was tonight that one of the cats is black, and the other orange.
