Scenic Route - Charleston, West Virginia

This beautifully layered artwork showcases the West Virginia State Capitol with its iconic gold dome, set over a centennial (1963) map of West Virginia with focus on Kanawha County. The piece thoughtfully incorporates the statue Lincoln Walks at Midnight, which stands on the Capitol grounds as a tribute to Abraham Lincoln’s somber reflection during the Civil War. A clever nod to West Virginia’s heritage is seen in the inclusion of Home Among the Hills, a well-loved song written by Clarksburg native E. W. James, Jr., along with the year of statehood and a symbolic state map icon. The floral border, featuring tulips and magnolias, elegantly represents the lush gardens surrounding the Capitol, adding a touch of natural beauty to the composition.
