William Theodore Van Doren. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.
Surrounded by storms (much to the chagrin of Flint), including a huge steel-gray tower to the east, at my back, with sheets of rain and of lightning, I walked up the road a quarter-mile to get a better look at the mountains, the bunch of paintbrushes in my fist a magic deterrent, no doubt, to lightning bolts.
