“Full Service” original acrylic painting by Gail Niebrugge. Original painting sold.
More posts about my life as an artist in the Wrangell-St. Elias, Alaska. The ghost town of Chitina may appear to be abandoned, but a few merchants actually carve out a modest living doing something they enjoy in an environment they prefer. Gas, oil, tire repair, and other services are offered at this local gas station. You might have to wait a week for parts to be sent, but who’s counting time? Enjoy a hot cup of coffee, pitch your tent and you’ll be welcome to use the outhouse, and until a few years ago, wait in line to use the only phone via satellite. Otherwise, walk down the old railroad road bed and check out the Copper River, watch for moose, and in the fall keep an eye out for the return of the Trumpeter Swans.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Artist of Alaska
