William Theodore Van Doren. Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on paper, 16 x 20.

It takes me the longest time to understand some things, things that are obvious to other people. 

Today I was listening to the Beatles/John Lennon sing “Because” from Abbey Road. 

Because the sky is blue
It makes me cry

That of course is a play on the sky feeling ‘blue’ ... but it was only a few years ago that I finally realized it.

My reaction always had been, “Hey – makes me cry too ... ”
