An oil painting on canvas of a rocky landscape in the Kentucky Palisades by listed American artist Bill Fletcher (b. 1958).

Influenced by the land of his home and a passion for art, Fletcher is known for his masterful landscapes and rich still life compositions. The Kentucky native received his artistic training from a plethora of exceptional teachers as a young man acquiring the essential building blocks for drafting.
