For your consideration is this framed print of Richard Amundsen's (1928-1998) work. Richard Amundsen was born in Sacramento Valley, California and was educated in San Francisco. In 1963, he began his career as an illustrator specializing in wildlife. He moved to Seattle and used a New York City agent to help secure commissions from publications such as Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Golden Books, Random House, and Readers Digest. He also illustrated the Remington Arms wildlife calendars as well as Leanin' Tree Christmas cards. Amundsen moved to Cody, Wyoming and began working as a fine artist. He was considered one of the top painters in the area. He later moved to Bozeman, Montana and painted in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. His commissioned painting of Theodore Roosevelt in the high country was presented to President Nixon, earning him the Presidential Seal. Amundsen was an avid outdoorsman and many of his paintings resulted from personal experiences he had through fishing, hunting, and research trips. The print depicts a hunting dog near a broken fence and small pond, standing in the bushes as small quails fly every direction trying to avoid being caught. The dog seems uninterested in the quails as he looks towards the viewer searching for something else. The print shows Amundsen's great attention to detail. The print is signed in the lower right corner reading, "Amundsen". The print is set behind glass and sits in a wooden frame. The piece shows no signs of damage and measures 21" L x 27" W.
