Under Sail – Moonrise, Saturday, 22 June 2013

William Van Doren, UNDER SAIL. Moonrise from Old Haven Beach, Mathews County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

This was the view looking in the opposite direction from my previous painting, on the Chesapeake Bay. The moon became much brighter, of course, but I love this early phase when it just barely seems to emerge from the sky.

New Heaven from Old Haven – Sunset, Saturday, 22 June 2013

William Van Doren, NEW HEAVEN FROM OLD HAVEN. Sunset from Old Haven Beach, Mathews County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

From Old Haven Beach, near Mathews, Virginia, where my family used to go camping in fairly primitive style every summer. Now called South Haven; maybe someone didn’t want an “old” beach. My parents also honeymooned there, so ... it’s old enough.
