Closed for the Winter

“Mc Carthy Lodge, Closed Until June” original watercolor by Gail Niebrugge, sold.
In the center of the historic town of Mc Carthy is the lodge, the hub for news, activity, food, libations, and lodging in the community. Its look and amenities change with each new owner. On my first visit in the spring of 1977, the building was open only during summer and I painted this original watercolor from that trip. Today the lodge is a year-round sanctuary, serving the needs of groups of hardy winter visitors. It is fun to see the place evolve throughout the years.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Alaskan Art
