I visited Spruce Knob Lake in West Virginia with family when I was a teenager.
This is an
original oil painting by Ruth Housley.
Spruce Knob is the highest point in the state of West Virginia, in Pendleton County and the Monongahela National Forest. It is 4,864 feet above sea level. Spruce Knob is West Virginia's highest peak. From the rugged peak you can view grassy openings and pastures or look down on forested ridges as far as you can see. Fishing is another attraction at nearby Spruce Knob Lake and it provides the angler with a 25 acre impoundment regularly stocked with trout by the West Virginia Department of Natural Resourses.
I wanted to paint the autumn time of the year and put the ducks on the lake for added interest.
This painting is framed with a wood rustic frame.
