Sooner and Later (We All See Double Sometimes) (Sunset, Saturday, 17 September 2011)

William Theodore Van Doren, SOONER AND LATER (WE ALL SEE DOUBLE SOMETIMES) (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

This is an amalgam of skies I glimpsed on my drive before sunset, when clouds were bright, and at sunset, when they were dark. (Someone forgot to tell the clouds it was sunset.) Title borrowed from Charlottesville band The Bloody Angle.

A promising new band, The Bloody Angle, describe themselves as “a Southern Alt-Rock band from Charlottesville VA. Think Drive-By Truckers meet The Black Keys, Jack White, and the Raconteurs.” Their Band Page offers a couple of free downloads.
