William Van Doren, AT THE HOUR OF SURRENDER (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

I had the title at first just based on the sky and the feeling of twilight, then realized it was also for Egypt and the end of the regime.

If you’re new to this site, or perhaps even if you’re not, I’ve posted a simple video introducing the sunset series, with excerpts from my gallery talk at the opening of the current exhibit.
