The Ghost Town of Chitina
“Chitina Skyline” original painting by Gail Niebrugge. Original painting sold.
Late September and early October are the best time to hang out at Town Lake in Chitina to watch dozens of magnificent Trumpeter Swan gather before they fly south on their annual migration. As I sat waiting one evening I noticed the low sunlight illuminating the ancient buildings downtown, causing them to glow against the dark cast shadows of the distant mountains, and creating this lovely scene that I painted later with acrylic and watercolor in my studio.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Alaska Artist
