Lots of mountain lakes up in here today. This looks like a King Crimson album cover to me. It’s old. 1977. Someone was probably high as fuck when they painted this. They’d been reading The Hobbit and staring at their black light posters, probably burning some cones of incense in one of those tiny brass pagoda-looking contraptions that always used to tip over and get cone incense ash all over one’s wooden cable spool table. Remember those? Cone incense ash was always a bummer to try and wipe up, man. Anyway. I’m guessing the result was this artwork. Grok!
PS: I’m just being a wise-ass: this is actually a very very nice painting. Although it really does remind me a bit of some of Tolkien’s illustrations for The Hobbit. And the album cover for In the Court of the Crimson King.
