This is an
original oil painting by Ruth Housley. Seneca Rocks is a park in Eastern West Virginia. These rocks are famous for mountain climbers as well as the scenic attraction. Seneca Rocks was purchased by the federal government in 1969. It is one of the best-known landmarks in West Virginia. It is unknown who the first person was to climb Seneca Rocks. It is in the Monongahela National Forest.
The photo's I worked from had an old house near Seneca Rocks but I wanted to put a cabin in the scene instead of the house. I have visited this place several times with family in my youth.
