William Van Doren, STONY POINT TO STONY POINT (Sunset from Richmond, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

I live in an area known as Stony Point, in Albemarle County, Virginia, where I witness and paint most of my sunsets. Tonight’s sunset comes from an outdoor shopping mall 80 miles away that styles itself as “Stony Point.” This time of year, a remarkable number of sunsets seem to happen at shopping centers.
