Down A Country Lane is an original painting by Sophie Berger. Inspired by her daily walks on Dartmoor, Sophie and her dog Wolfie wonder through the country lanes near her studio towards the moors. Battling the rain, hail and snow throughout the winter and now enjoying the first signs of spring, sunshine, warmth and the occasional blue sky. A feeling of excitement, joy and energy emanates from this painting. Sophie often sketches on Devon’s north coast, Exmoor and Dartmoor, taking in the mood of the sky, rolling hills and streams or concentrating on the intricate twisted branches and roots of the bracken. Sophie Berger’s next stage is to recapture these sketches using oil paint when back at the studio in Dartmoor, thereby creating a strong connection between her work and the landscape.

New original artwork by artist, Sophie Berger is available with Wychwood Art in their gallery and online. Sophie Berger's recent work has been greatly influenced by her move to Devon and a new found love of the Dartmoor. She often sketches on the north moors and in Skaigh woods, taking in the mood of the sky, rolling hills and streams or concentrating on the intricate twisted branches and roots of the bracken. Sophie Berger's next stage is to recapture these sketches using oil paint when back at the studio in Kigbeare, thereby creating a strong connection between her work and the landscape. The changeable, moody landscapes awash with colour, horizons and the vast openness have inspired artist Sophie Berger to explore the feeling of being in this environment, so to describe these works as landscapes would be to miss the essence of the places they strive to capture.
