Cheshire Apparition (Sunset, Wednesday, 27 April 2011)

William Van Doren, CHESHIRE APPARITION (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

You can barely see it – I could barely see it – but way up in the sky, between storms (again), there was an opening of dim remote blue. It lasted only seconds before the rains rolled back in.
