"Valley Grasslands" - SOLD Fishing Bay The male Ring-necked duck isThis painting is inspired by the Shenandoah valley in summer. This Virginia plateau is about 1400 feet above sea level but can be amazingly flat in many areas between the mountain ranges. The Blue Ridge mountains fade into the hazy distance and cows graze peacefully on the summer pastures. This piece is 12 x 24 and is framed in a silver and black floater frame. SOLD
