Chimney Rocks
8" x 10" oil on panel
This is part of Chimney Rock, located in Rock Cliff Lake, one of two lakes/ponds in the Trout Pond Recreation Area in Wardensville, WV. The other body of water is Trout Pond, which is the only natural lake in West Virginia, formed out of a limestone sink hole. During a family hiking trip to the recreation area in December, I noted several potential sites and couldn't wait to come back for some painting.
I'm out of practice, though, and had a tough time keeping up with the changing light and simplifying the infinite details, so it might have gotten a little muddy. The camera also had a tough time getting the highlights right, so I think it looks better in person. Here's an action shot:
