“The Kennicotts; Copper and Ice” 15″ x 28″ original acrylic painting by Gail Niebrugge commissioned for the Alaska State Ferry M/V Kennicott by Susan Knowles for the Governors Gift.
The wife of Alaska Governor Tony Knowles, Susan, commissioned a painting to become part of the permanent collection of the new state ferry that was named M/V Kennicott in honor of the historic Kennicott region of the Wrangell-St. Elias. I wanted to show both the Kennicott Glacier and the historic Kennicott copper mill, so I created a montage and combined both images.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Kennicott artist of Alaska
