William Van Doren, RAIN OVER PINEY MOUNTAIN (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

Since there are many mountains by this name I should say that this is the one near Advance Mills, a few miles from the east wall of the Blue Ridge. Although it’s a small mountain, its solitary position makes it seem quite prominent. At sunset it was perhaps 75 percent covered by rain clouds.
