Sunset, Tuesday, 6 April 2010

William Theodore Van Doren. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.

Having had my head down in work all day – proofing, light editing, some layout of text – there hasn’t been time to sit back and “be a writer.” Now as I’m watching the sun start to go down behind a glaring screen of mica (and that’ll change), there’s no proofing or cleaning up to be done here. This painting’s more like the many ghostwriting jobs I’ve done. The sky and sun are a text they’ve given me, and I give again to you.
