Framed original landscape acrylic painting on board signed by Chicago master painter Vernon E. Stake (1921-2003) in the lower right corner. Stake attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and taught art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago for 32 years. He maintained a studio and five acres of flower gardens in Woodstock, IL. In this painting, a view of placid water is seen from the shadowed vantage of verdant, flowery undergrowth. Detail is built through layers of color, accented by a wide mahogany frame with gilt studded edge. The frame has a couple small bumps and measures 27" W x 23" H x 1.5" D with a 19" x 15.25" image area. Please see photos for more detail.
