Our family has a Bernard Wynne painting of Southwest scene purchased over 30 years ago in Palm Springs, CA.
it is 30″X40″ and framed 40″X50″. We are interested in finding out if this painting was given a name.
Thank you,
The name of the painting is Indian Cover and was purchased by Kenneth & Olive Corrington at the Zantman Art Gallery in Palm Desert, CA.
Update: Name of picture is Indian Cove #474-4
I have the painting Bayou Black, Lafayette, LA
July 13,1973.
Trying to find out its worth. Can you assist me?
Thanks.
I have the commissioned portrait of Dorothy Nell Clay probably executed in Los Angeles around 1942.
Send me an email or instructions and I will send a picture.

Hello – I have a Bernard Wynne which I obtained from my father (George Blacher – Pasadena Artists Supplies) many years ago. . . I am now getting my art in order to pass down to my kids.
I remember (I think) my dad telling my that Mr Wynn worked out of a trailer – pre EPA – at Cal Tech.
If you have the time, I would appreciate hearing from you so as I can honestly pass the story on to my kids and grandkids.
Thanks – Jonathan
Hi Mary,
Many years ago I purchased two of your Dad’s paintings, the original he made a litho of and the Merced River in Yosemite, which I love, and I was wondering if there was a market for his work and if so where should I go to get an idea what these pieces are worth Thanks for your help.

My husband and I own a 24 x 30 inch original painting by Bernard Wynne titled ‘Pueblo Wash Wildflowers’.
It was purchased on November 23, 1974 from the Zantman Art Galleries in Palm Desert, California.
We have the original invoice for the purchase which shows that it was purchased for $850 plus $51 tax.
Just as a matter of interest, we would be interested to know what the value of the painting might be currently as we suspect that it has increased since the purchase approximately 43 years ago.
38 years ago (1982), my father-in-law purchased a oil painting by Bernard Wynne titled “Rider in the Desert”.
I was wondering if you could please fill in some details behind this painting?
Thank you very much.
My wife’s late parents purchased Mr. Wynne’s 30X40
Indian Cove from Zantman Art Gallery in Palm Springs, CA.. We are in process of determining value to many of their art works in order to insure them.
They paid $1200 for Indian Cove over 20 plus years ago.
Can you provide us with an estimated value and/or direct us to someone who may.
Thank you,
Paul and Sharon Cohen
Hi Mary!
I have recently acquired 2 works by Bernard Wynne.
I was told the grove of trees behind a beautiful field is titled “November In Louisiana” and second is “Louisiana Marsh”
Both are signed lower right of the painting and on the back.
I would send photos but need an email to attach the pictures.
I love his work and an so pleased to have found them.
