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

I hope folks will excuse the baseball reference in the middle of November, but it is indeed gray, we’re working on having a homestead of our own, I think the Negro Leagues deserve more recognition, and the Pittsburgh Pirates, a more or less related team, did hire a new manager today. Even in the middle of November, there are the beginnings of hope for a new season.
