Ellen Henne Goodale (1915-1991) Alaskan Landscape, n.d. Oil on canvas
Canvas: 30” x 40” Frame: 38” x 48”
Signed Lower Right: HENNE
A standard log cabin surrounded by feet of snow sits in a forest clearing. In the distance, tall mountain peaks touch the clouds. A warm pink tint and chimney smoke radiate warmth over this snowy scene. A team of huskies stand off-guard harnessed to an empty sled. Vertical paint strokes of vibrant blue, red, and yellow hues throughout the trees give a beautiful liveliness to Goodale’s Alaskan landscape.
