An original oil painting on canvas by Alaska artist Scott McDaniel (1926-2012), titled "Along the Little Sue" and executed c.1984. The work depicts a quiet riverside camp with a tent pitched on the grassy bank and a figure seated near a small fire. A wooden boat rests in the foreground while tall spruce trees rise against a luminous green sky with a crescent moon. The Little Susitna River begins at Hatcher Pass in the Talkeetna Mountains at the northern edge of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and flows into Cook Inlet. McDaniel was a widely collected painter known for his beautiful depictions of the Alaskan wilderness. Signed lower right and further signed, titled, and dated en verso. Housed in the original ornate gilt frame, it measures approximately 17.25" x 20.25" overall, with a sight view of 10.5" x 13.5".
