An original oil painting by Alaskan artist Scott McDaniel (1926-2012), titled "Summer Cache." This c.1987 scene depicts a traditional elevated cache standing above marshland, with its tall supports reflected in the still water below. Such caches were historically built to store food and supplies safely above ground, protecting them from wildlife and weather. A small rowboat rests in the water near the shore, and a background of trees and mountains captures the quiet beauty of the northern landscape at sunset. McDaniel was a widely collected Alaskan painter, and is known for his evocative depictions of the state's wilderness and cultural landmarks. Signed lower left and titled en verso. Housed in a linen and wood frame with some discoloration as shown. Measures approximately 9.5" x 11.5" overall with a sight view of 4.5" x 6.5".
