“A MAGICAL TALE OF REDEMPTION”*

Too much work — not enough time. Too much worry — not enough joy. Too much living online — not enough living. These familiar problems confront the narrator of 47 Minutes on Christmas Eve . . .

COMMEMORATIVE SUNSETS

Some of the best gifts I’ve given friends and family have been paintings of the sunset or sunrise from a special day – their wedding day, the day a child was born, a special anniversary, the day a new enterprise was launched. 

I’ve recently started doing these kinds of paintings by request – to commemorate someone’s special occasion.

In most cases, these works are oil paintings on a 16 x 20 canvas of the sunset as seen from my studio facing the Blue Ridge. Inquire here, or by writing me at 14thofjuly@gmail.com.

Sunrise, Sunday, 1 January 2006

William Theodore Van Doren. Sunrise from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on canvas, 14 x 18.On New Year’s Day 2006, I resumed the Book of Days, this time adding a painting of each day’s sunrise as well as the sunset. The series began 13 June 1995. At the autumn equinox 1997 I began painting consecutive days – each day’s sunset – and continued through New Year’s Day 1999. Consecutive sunrises and sunsets, beginning with this painting on the morning of 1 January 2006, comprised two complete years, 2006 and 2007. In 2008 I continued painting each sunset.
