William Van Doren, DOUBLING THE SUN (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.
The “two” suns were rather fortunate, since I was also commissioned to paint another version (which I’ve just done, on wood panel) for a wedding gift. As fate would have it, the wedding I was asked to commemorate took place just a few miles further down my road ... so what I witnessed really was “their” sunset.
