Biography:
Sally Berner grew up in a small town in Wisconsin and has been an active oil painter for over 25 years in the Realist tradition. Her love for nature and animals has led her to concentrate on painting North American wildlife, domestic animals and commissions of household pets, especially dogs.
Artist Statement:
“I became more serious about art I learned technical drawing skills from John Gordon in Green Bay. I think because of Mr. Gordon I have been able to do accurate drawings.” -Sally Berner
Background Information:
Many readers will recognize Sally Berner as a gifted artist specializing in portraits of dogs. Some know she also does landscape and still life paintings.
I chose this piece because Sally Berner used soft strokes of paint to make it look like a relaxing place to be. It also connects to theme because of its greenery.
