Born
in Sheridan, Ontario, Verner studied art at Leighs
School of Art, London, England (1856-60).
He served with the British Army before returning
to Toronto, Ontario in 1862 and traveling and painting
across the prairies.
Working in oil, watercolour, and pencil, in a
poetic and romantic style, his subjects include
landscape, native portraits, Indian camps, animal life
such as sheep, cattle and buffalo, English villages and
cottages, and still life.
Other painting locations include Lake Huron, lake
Erie, Parry Sound, and Nipigon River, Ontario; Scotland;
The Netherlands; and Yorkshire, Cumberland, Devon,
Dorset, Buckinghamshire, and Sark, England.
Many of his works were destroyed in London during
World War I. While
continuing to make periodic visits to Canada, he moved
to London, England in 1880 where he died. |
