“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.

In No Mood to Cooperate (Sunset, Friday, 3 September 2010)

William Van Doren, In No Mood to Cooperate (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

The sky was in no mood to be pretty, wear something nice, or even talk. The air stayed strangely hot throughout sunset, in front of a wall of gray that the National Weather Service assures us we will experience as ‘Partly Cloudy’. The only evidence that they might not have their National completely up their Service was, I could still just see the mountains.
