Sunset, Tuesday, 20 April 2010

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

What was a blue day goes down in blue clouds behind blue mountains. The sky drains color and sounds fall except for a few birds nearby and a distant highway. Here green and shadow, and a gathering cool dark heavy substance of air clinging to the foreground.
