Original Acrylic Painting of a Waterfront Cabin
Acrylic on canvas “Perkins Paradise” by Gail Niebrugge, purchased for the permanent collection of the Museum of the North, Fairbanks, Alaska.
Not far from the downtown of the tiny city of Valdez, Alaska, this wilderness home is primarily accessed by boat. It can be reached on foot by hiking down a bluff on a rustic trail that winds its way through the deep woods. The shoreline cabin came alive for me when a shaft of sunlight lit up the side of the building and the little patch of yard. Surrounded by the dark dense forest it stood out like a sparkling jewel waiting to be captured in paint on canvas.
More tomorrow,
