Sally Donovan received her first painting lesson from her aunt at the age of twelve. An art major in school, she studied at the Art Students League in New York City. Continuing education, motherhood, and a career in social work interrupted opportunities for her to paint consistently through the years. Her involvement in oil painting has been rekindled and for the last twenty-five years she has produced landscapes from faraway places and close to home.Several of her compositions now include figures, most often placed in the landscape setting. Using a palette of mainly primary colors, Sally mixes her colors as she goes. She strives to keep her colors clean and fresh, replicating the purity that exists in nature. Her subjects, be they landscapes, figures, or still lifes, are from original photos or are painted on site.
