Oil on canvas, 36 x 60 inches Exhibiting: Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art , Santa Fe, NM $8500 framed About this artwork: This composition has always drawn me in—the feeling of standing in the shaded part of a forest, looking outward toward a place flooded with light. It presents an ideal stage for exploring contrast, depth, and energy. In this work, I began immediately with bold colors and contrasts that set the theme for this oil.The focus here is nature at its most dynamic: a

Every area of the surface was reconsidered and strengthened, with more presence, nuance, and mor

To complete the composition, strips of field and sky. Then I was immediately stuck... it just wasn't coming together s

In the studio, the frame shown is computer generated Private collection, Denver My thank you to the collector of this pastel About this pastel: This is a dance. I am fascinated by the patterns found in groups of trees and for this pastel, I set out to highlight those patterns in an unusual way.

Private collection, Denver My thank you to the collector of this pastel About this pastel: This piece was begun as an interesting line of trees in various colors, trending to fall and in a subtle fashion. While laying this out, I noticed that the addition of blues magnified the foliage in the trees, lighting up everything it touched. My original plan went out the win

Oil on canvas, 36 x 60 inches Exhibited: Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art , Santa Fe, NM Private collection This painting, like many of my works, went through several transformations. I started it about a year ago with a similar composition but an entirely different color palette.

Fast forward to a recent paint-along session I was hosting with another artist
