This painting was one of many I made in the Allegheny Mountains. Several
times each year, my family and I travelled through the Shenandoah Valley
and into West Virginia to visit our family. I wanted to stop at the top
of every mountain. No matter how often I painted the same view, it was
new to me. One day the mist blanketed the hills, another there was snow,
and another the setting sun filled the air with a warm glow. I never tired
of any of it. It was my view from the top of the world!
