Aerial View of a Colorful Glacier
Ornamental Ice original painting in pointillism by Gail Niebrugge. Sold.
Time to continue to the series about my life while living and painting in the wilderness of Wrangell-St. Elias, Alaska. Above is an original painting of the lower section of the longest valley glacier in North America, the Nabesna, and is particularly interesting to me because of the color I saw in the lower moraine and water. I have often compared the patterns on glaciers to highways, the streaks of glacial moraine resembling long curving roads with many lanes. The vastness and beauty of this land is beyond description, sometimes while flying alone in my single engine Cessna I never saw another airplane or person anywhere.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Artist of Alaska
