Luke Stamos
Vintage California Mountain Pond Landscape with Ducks by Luke Stamos

1980

About the Item

Stunning California landscape of a small reflective pond with tall trees, big boulders, and ducks rendered in crisp detail by Luke Stamos (American, 20th century). Signed "L. Stamos" lower right. Displayed in a rustic giltwood frame. Image, 20"H x 16"L. Luke Stamos graduated from San Jose State in 1960 with a B.A. in fine arts. He is a wildlife/landscape artist, focusing primarily on the area in the remote back country of Santa Clara County behind Mt. Hamilton. He has had two one-man shows and his work can currently be viewed at the Los Gatos Museums Gallery in Los Gatos, CA. Artists statement: "I was born in Chicago, and began studying art at the Chicago Art Institute at age 5. When my family moved to San Francisco in 1944, I became aware of California’s splendid outdoor life, and began to pursue a life-long hobby of hunting and fishing. While attending high school in Daly City, I won an art scholarship to San Francisco’s California School of Fine Art." I attended the Los Angeles School of Arts and Crafts, after which I worked for 2 years with Walt Disney Studios as an assistant Animator. I returned with my family to the Bay Area in 1957, and graduated from San Jose State University in 1960 with a B.A. in Fine Arts. Shortly thereafter, I began working with the County of Santa Clara Planning Department. In retirement, I continue as a wildlife/landscape artist, focusing primarily on the area in the remote back country of Santa Clara County behind Mt. Hamilton. The area may appear monochromatic, but if you look closely enough, you can see the full spectrum of colors that inspire me. I work both plein air and from my photographs. My medium is oil, painted on canvas and board. I was a finalist in the 1984 California Waterfowl Duck Stamp contest. I’m currently showing my work at the Los Gatos Museums Gallery in Los Gatos, CA."
