Tanada Peak in the Wrangell Mountains
“Tanada Peak” original acrylic painting by Gail Niebrugge. Sold.
One of my goals while living in the Copper River Basin was to paint as many of the mountain peaks in the Wrangell-St. Elias as possible, and I keep a sharp eye for a unique point of view or a different angle to approach this project. Tanada Peak is located to the southwest of Nabesna Road, one of only two roads into the park. One cold winter day I saw the mountain back lit, it was perfect because it caused the peak to stand out in the white on white landscape. This painting is owned by the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and hangs in the Slana Ranger Station.
More tomorrow,
