Bingham Mountain (Sunset, Sunday, 24 April 2011)

William Van Doren, BINGHAM MOUNTAIN (Sunset from Simmons Gap Road & Dyke Road, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

Basically the only thing I could see from where I was at sunset, as clouds rolled in on what had been a beautiful Easter Sunday, was Bingham Mountain, a small (1300') peak in front of the Blue Ridge between Nortonsville and Dyke, Virginia. I’m a fan of small mountains, and I love this one.
