William Theodore Van Doren. Painted at Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.
Wrestling today with a makeshift photo lighting setup – lights had to be sent back to the vendor for replacement – I contemplated the prospect of not being able to post the paintings at all (if they didn’t look halfway accurate).
The funny thing about that was how it made it more difficult to follow the usual discipline of painting – yet I painted sunsets for years while I wasn’t able to show them to anyone. Now I’m spoiled almost to the point of not being able to do them without you.
The sky this afternoon, until the sun fell, seemed all one color, a bluescape. I decided it was monoromantic.
