“Vintage Valley” original acrylic painting by Gail Niebrugge commissioned by the Teeland Middle School, Wasilla, Alaska. Giclee limited edition prints available.
One of the best parts of the historic Mc Carthy/Kennicott area is the abundance of artifacts, tools, wagons, parts, and containers scattered here and there. A short search of the surrounding bushes yields a found treasure or two, resting just out of sight. I especially enjoy old wagons, wooden wagon wheels, and pieces of wagons. I think it’s the aging, gray, weathered wood that appeals to me the most, coupled with some kind of rusty iron part it creates interesting still life subjects for paintings and drawings.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Art of Alaska
