William Van Doren, [WHENEVER I GAZE ON] WESTMINSTER SUNSET. Sunset from Westminster, Carroll County, Md. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

Don’t know when I’ll paint the sunset from Waterloo Station, London, so I went ahead and referenced the ultra-beautiful Kinks song by Ray Davies. Fitting, since just after this I met my brother at a restaurant named Paradiso. (And ... it was a “Friday night”!) If you get a chance, check out the version of “Waterloo Sunset” by Ray Davies and the Crouch End Festival Chorus.
