William Van Doren, UNDER SAIL. Moonrise from Old Haven Beach, Mathews County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

This was the view looking in the opposite direction from my previous painting, on the Chesapeake Bay. The moon became much brighter, of course, but I love this early phase when it just barely seems to emerge from the sky.
