While driving up the winding narrow road to the parking lot of Rollins State Park, one catches little glimpses that hint at the vistas that await but which don't quite prepare one for the breathtaking view that appears once there are no trees in the way. A steep hike to the summit provides a 360 degree view of the area, but this artist was happy to stay below in the parking lot and paint this exquisite view. The only drawback to the experience is the presence of clouds of hungry black flies which are, apparently, undeterred by insect repellent! But black flies are troublesome only from May through July, and those embedded in the painting won't be troubling anyone anymore!
