American contemporary painter, Douglas K. Gifford, was born in Evanston, Illinois. He began painting in 1967 at which time he transferred from Bucknell University to The Ringling Art School. After graduating, cumulative awards and commissions led to one-artist shows in New York, Palm Beach, Nantucket, and Naples.

A representational painter of architecture, an early influence was Edward Hopper. Then Gifford’s constructionist concept of space led to his invention of a three dimensional technique called Stereo Schema Realism. It is his alone.

"The Governor" depicts an abbreviated version of one of San Francisco's more elaborate show places. The original house was destroyed in an earthquake. Artist signature lower left. Gallery cards and title on verso.
