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

Snow here since noon, around an inch and a half of new snow, and it just started to lift at sunset. A momentary band of light or of brighter cloud in the west surprised me. After a day so enveloped in white and gray, the color of the light seemed about as exotic as the Great Red Spot of Jupiter.
