Kristen Gilje Work Week Print
$600"Fall Work Week" Print by Kristen Gilje
This stunning watercolor print vividly captures the autumn colors and changing seasons in the Railroad Creek Valley.
The scene depicts volunteers preparing Holden Village for winter by placing wooden coverings on ground-level windows to protect them from the vast snowfall, which averages 270 inches annually. Dumbbell Mountain in the background is covered in snow and suggests the beautiful changes ahead for the winter.
Artist Kristen Gilje painted many exquisite watercolors of Holden Village as artist-in-residence from 1997 to 2006. She no longer sells prints, making this piece more rare and valuable.
This print measures 15 x 20 inches and is framed 24 x 28 inches including the wooden frame.
Value: $325
*Shipping costs separate and to be paid for by winner bidder. May be arranged to ship from Holden (approx. $50-100), OR available for pickup near Chelan or greater Seattle area.
