JAMES EVERETT STUART "SHOWERS" OIL ON CANVAS

James Everett Stuart (1852 - 1941) "Showers" Oil on Canvas. Signed and dated lower left, inscribed on reverse "No. 2381 - 12x18 / "Showers" / a Duck Lake along the San Joaquin River, California / Painted Aug. 25, 1917." Born in Bangor, Maine, James Everett Stuart became known for his panoramic landscapes from Maine to California to Alaska to the Panama Canal, but especially of the American West with focus on Northern California and Oregon. His parents took him to California at the age of eight, and the family settled in San Francisco where he attended the public schools and studied art with Virgil Williams, Raymond Yelland, Thomas Hill, and William Keith at the San Francisco School of Design. His early work was dramatic California landscape including the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, and in style the works were moody and mysterious and suggestive of the French Barbizon School. During much of the 1890s, he lived in Chicago, but in 1912 returned to San Francisco until his death in 1941. There, from his studio near Union Square, he was highly successful and popular among his peers, underscored by his membership in the Bohemian Club.
