William Theodore Van Doren. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.
As part of a process of resorting and redefining the site, I’ve begun to separate some of the longer entries or mini-essays from the sunsets they once accompanied, partly with the idea of making them easier to find in the Index to Past Entries. If even I can’t remember what sunset dates certain essays or prose pieces came with, I doubt you will. For example, “Trees and Sunsets” and “Thoreau: What Did the Sunset Say?” from last May, are now stand-alone pieces. I’ll be continuing with this process over the next several days. In addition, I’ve eliminated the Notes in the Margin section and brought all of those entries into this main journal sequence; they can be found in the Index as well.
Also today I’ve made two more paintings available as prints: “The Red Sofa” and “Bastille Day Twilight.”
