William Van Doren, SUMMER SHIFT. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

So called not so much because it was 70° here today, but because rain clouds were coming in from the southwest (from the left), so I painted the horizon toward the north, where there was still light and where I would normally be painting in summer.
