William Van Doren, EPILOG (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.
Often not only the skies change, but the titles as well. (This of course can be very aggravating.) At first the murky clouds in the oncoming heat and humidity somehow struck me as a Venusian blanket. Then this resolved into streaks and stripes of yellow and dull violet ... “Planet Waves,” I thought. A few minutes later I happened to look up – it was either “Epilog” or “Bouillabaisse.”
