William Van Doren, FROM A MUNICIPAL FLOWER BED (Sunset from Rivermont Avenue, Lynchburg, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

I don’t know what the good people of Lynchburg thought about the guy standing with a sketchbook and looking toward the sunset from a flower bed in front of a small sign marking the western end of the Rivermont Historic District – junction of Rivermont Avenue, V.E.S. Road and Peakland Place. But I swear I didn’t step on the flowers . . .

Rivermont Collage (Sunset, Monday, 12 September 2011)

William Theodore Van Doren, RIVERMONT COLLAGE (Sunset from Rivermont Avenue, Lynchburg, Va.) Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

A loose composite of the sequence of skies and mountains I saw while driving along Rivermont Avenue in Lynchburg. I’m very happy I didn’t hurt anyone in the street while I looked between and over buildings, around and through trees, etc.
