Sunset, Wednesday, 15 July 2009

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

The sunset sky changed its story three times in 30 minutes, altered its address, login and password, effaced its Facebook account, sold all of its stuff in a yard sale down here on Watts Passage, and left without telling me what I wanted to know. I finally found it staying under an assumed name at a boarding house in Bristol, Tennessee, in a room with a spectacular view of itself.
