Crossing the James – Sunset, Friday, 29 November 2013
William Van Doren, COLD WAVE. Sunset from Lynchburg, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.
Based on a glance out the car window crossing the John Lynch Bridge into Lynchburg, Va. I had a sunset all sketched out, from a few minutes earlier, riding in the car up in Amherst County ... then I saw this, for only a second or two, and my sketch was just a few lines. But this was the one.
