Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on paper, 16 x 20.

Actual random soundtrack for the process of this painting included “She’s Coming Home” (Zombies) (she was, even though she worked late), “Annie Get Your Gun” (Squeeze), “Sh-Boom” (The Chords), “Phonograph Blues” (RJ), “I’m Gonna Love You Too” (Buddy Holly), “The Luck Of The Irish” (John Lennon), “Watch The Tapes” (LCD Soundsystem), but no “Twilight Time” even though there were two completely different spectacular twilight skies right after this one – and, most appropriately, “Virginia” (Clipse), which includes a reference to “heat like Caribbean summers.”

Indeed.
