Fresh Snow Artwork
Original miniature acrylic painting in pointillism “Fresh Snow” by Gail Niebrugge, Sold.
One of the advantages of living and painting in the Wrangell-St. Elias wilderness is; I never run out of subject matter. My yard in Copper Center is a source for many of my works. Nestled in the forest a few scant acres from the mighty Copper River, winter is a time for quiet contemplation and nothing can be more silent and magical than walking outdoors in falling snow. Every sound is muffled, it is so hushed that you can almost hear the feather light flakes landing on the frozen talcum powder fluff of fresh snow. It is a truly spiritual experience and one that I have often labored to capture in paint.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, wilderness landscape painter
