sketchbook is a lovely volume of watercolor paintings
highlighting many of the impressive Gothic- and Georgianstyle buildings on Yale's New Haven campus.
Producing the sketchbook was not an unusual task for
Van Doren. For the past two decades he quietly has
been oing sensitively endered paintings of architecturally
d
r
distinctive buildings in both Europe and the United States.
His work might be considered Impressionistic in style, but
as much in the lower-case meaning of the word as its
capitalized form implies. At once deeply personal and
interpretative, eschewing tiresome exactness in color
