Bern Sundell

A common sight up and down Main Street in Ennis are the pickups from the ranches with cow dogs waiting for their owners to return. This painting captures the lively nature of one of these dogs, with the expressive face beautifully rendered.

The dog is back lit, creating a halo of shining fur. All of the subleties of the color transitions of the tricolor fur add to the richness of this painting. You can almost reach out and pet this happy dog.

This painting is surprisingly large, 60 inches wide by 48 inches high, and is available at RiverStone Gallery. Bern also offers giclee prints in two sizes as well.

American Red is a dramatic watercolor painting featuring a naturally weathered deer skull with all its delicate curves, shapes, and shadows. Bern Sundell employs red and blue shapes to create a compositional emphasis that highlights the skull beautifully.

Measuring 30″ wide by 22″ high, this original painting is available at RiverStone Gallery, a contemporary western art gallery. For gifts or to enjoy in your own home, giclee prints of this painting are also available.
