William Van Doren, “SPREADING A MEMORY ALL THROUGH THE SKY” (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.), oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

Title from Suzanne Vega’s “In Liverpool.” Despite what I’ve said about “no revisions,” this experimental image may appear again tomorrow in somewhat altered form.

Image as shown is the altered form. Not at all what I expected. This involved what was for me a somewhat artificial or calculated three-step, 24-hour process, but I now understand better what I was going for and see a way I may be able to do something much more successful, and more natural, wet-in-wet at sunset.
