Wolfcreek Pass
Going back to Colorado for our daughter’s wedding, I had the opportunity to take some pictures of artwork I had done years ago.
My family and friends have these works hanging in their homes…some of my paintings I hadn’t seen in many years since we had sold our ranch and moved to the desert.
This painting was painted almost 25 years ago when I was just beginning my Romantic Western Art journey.
This piece is 24” X 28”, painted with oil on stretched artist canvas.

Susan Bergstrom replied
Why thank you kind sir…but I fear that I am no longer able to hold my brushes as long as I used to due to the nerve damage I have…it is the first stages of MS I fear…anyway, I will try as long as I can with my pastels and my camera…thanks always for your thoughtful, kind observations and comments…

Oh, my….I have to tell you, Susan, this brought tears to my eyes. I grew up in Colorado at the foothills of the Rockies (Boulder) and I miss it so much. What a beautiful rendering of such a special place on earth. You have a very special talent….
Susan Bergstrom replied
Thanks Barb…I grew up in Estes Park and Red Feather lakes north west of Fort Collins and I was surrounded by these vistas for many years!

So beautiful and so well done, the scale and perspective are awesome, the colors and excellent and the details are just amazing
Susan Bergstrom replied
Thanks Byron…sadly these days are few and far between since the nerve damage has progressed so much in my hands…as I told Jim Phillips, I will carry on as long as I can with my pastels and camera lens, but sadly the days of oil painting are gone…
Diane Schuster

Sorry to hear this, if it ever gets to that stage then you can do what THIS lady does, That would be interesting to see from you. { :>)
Susan Bergstrom replied
Let’s pray that I never get to that point…my grandmother knew a woman like this and her work was amazing…but I don’t know if I would venture down that path!
