“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.

Burner (Sunset, Thursday, 2 September 2010)

William Van Doren, Burner (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

One of the funnest parts was finding/mixing the dirty gray – largely sepia. And looking for a way to convey the sun.
