Artist Comments
Artist Sally Adams shares an image of a chocolate labrador puppy frolicking in the field. Her affinity for animals continues with this young intrepid hunter. "The curious pup cannot be called away from his hunt on a beautiful sun-soaked day," narrates Sally. She uses a muted teal, brown, and gold palette to depict the rustic atmosphere.

About the Artist
Artist Sally Adams produces ethereal scenes with intimate simplicity and clarity of expression. She takes to heart advice given by her childhood mentor that less is more. “I only paint the core components necessary to convey an emotional connection,” says Sally. She recalls creativity being her innate and lifelong passion. Her favorite Christmas present was a set of oil paints with brushes that she still uses to this day. Sally consciously intends to extract beauty from everyday life by recreating fragments of feeling into her compositions. The sights, sounds, and fragrances of nature endlessly inspire and give her stimuli. “Pickledog”, her home studio in Michigan is an ode to her beloved furry companion of 15 years. Oftentimes, she shares the workroom with her daughter, a skilled artist as well, such as her mother.
