“McCarthy Lodge 1979″ original acrylic painting by Gail Niebrugge, sold.

To find out the latest local news, visit the McCarthy Lodge.  Anything that happens in the area is eventually discussed over coffee in the dining room, or while drinking beer in the bar.  The small dining room is often used as a meeting place for community events, or conducting business.  It is the hub and the center of town.  This one of my very first paintings of this area, and it is fun to look back and see the changes in the lodge over the last three decades.  My work serves as a contemporary history of the region.

More tomorrow,
