La Gloire de Jour Est Arrivée (Sunset, Thursday, 14 July 2011)

William Theodore Van Doren, LA GLOIRE DE JOUR EST ARRIVÉE (Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

For Bastille Day – and I hope I did it right – I’ve inverted a line from La Marseillaise. Instead of “the day of glory has arrived,” the glory of the day.
