The Edge looks as Sharp as a Knife
“Castle Peak” original painting acrylic by Gail Niebrugge. Sold.
Returning again to my series on my life while living and painting in the Wrangell-St. Elias, Alaska. Castle Peak in the Wrangell Mountains is not particularly high at 10,190 feet, but it is so steep, it looks almost vertical. I am fascinated by the straight up and down face of the peak and how glaciers cling to every crack and crevice. It is an amazing sight to see up close, the ridge along the top appears to be as sharp as the edge of a knife. Rugged country. This painting is part of the series I completed in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s on the peaks of the Wrangell-St. Elias Mountains, when we lived in the region.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Artist of Alaska
