Brights Merging Oil on panel, 16 x 16 inches In the studio, $2150 framed To purchase About this oil: Growing up in the art business means I've spent a lifetime looking at other artists' work and what keeps pulling me back, what gives me genuine joy, is the interplay of light and color. It's the thing that gets me into the studio every morning. I'm especially drawn to landscapes, the open sky, the shimmer of water and the way light shifts across a scene. It's an inexhaustibl

Exhibited:  Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art,  Santa Fe, New Mexico My thanks to the collector of this oil. About this oil: This idea arrived as a gift. After recently completing the oil Sunset: Cascading Color,  oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inches, I prepared cropped closeups for posting it on my website. One of those image fragments caught my eye and the next day I began a new oil from that idea. As always, there was a lot of paint on the palette from yesterday’s session and I began w

Green Canopy Oil on canvas, 48 x 72 in. Exhibiting: Sorelle Gallery, ​ Westport, Connecticut , $13,500 framed To purchase About this oil: I have been intrigued by this composition of a line of trees at a creek revealing a dense forest beyond. This is the largest painting I have done that captures that idea. The oil began as trees with very sparse foliage but that wasn’t very effective for this scale so I shifted to made the trees fuller. The background was in place but now

Oil on canvas, 40 X 40 inches In the studio, $6650 framed To purchase About this oil: This painting started with the idea of capturing those fresh greens that show up in early spring. Working on the canvas over a series of days, I couldn't resist the urge to bring in more colorful elements, just touches at first, then more as the painting developed. I was struck by how the young trees stood out against the darker background. That contrast brought new energy to the piece and e

Patterns at the Lake, oil on canvas, 30 x 30 in. Exhibiting at the Breckenridge Gallery , Breckenridge, CO. $4400 framed To purchase About this oil: I first started this oil painting more than ten years ago. Back then, the canvas was filled edge to edge with a dense forest of yellow trees and a single hill that filled everything behind it. After many studio sessions, I knew something wasn’t quite right, so I set it aside, thinking I’d return to it “another day." That that da

Oil on canvas, 40 X 40 inches Exhibiting: Saks Galleries, Denver $6650 framed To purchase About this oil: Sometimes a painting reaches a standstill. This one did, and rather than let it sit unfinished, I decided to take a chance and paint over it, a risky move but one that can lead to surprising results. The inspiration came from a colleague’s evening scene featuring a luminous moon. That image stayed with me and led me to imagine my own version, a moonscape with a descendi

Red Forest, White Hill Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 inches Framed, $4400 In the studio To purchase About this oil: There are times when I just want to create a red forest, but this wasn’t a straightforward process… actually they rarely are. My first attempt wasn’t very interesting, so I set it aside and returned later with a better idea. This time, I added the dark trees on the left and pushed the dark effect and that’s when everything began to come together. I enjoy the challen

Oil on canvas, 36 x 36 inches Exhibiting: Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art , Santa Fe, NM $5700 framed To purchase About this oil: This oil painting began during my June Fine Art Workshop in Marshfield, MA, and was completed while teaching my July workshop at my home studio in Colorado. I created it as a demonstration—exploring how to bring together varied, even discordant, colors into a unified and compelling composition. The painting went through several transformations. The

Oil on canvas, 40 x 40 inches, framed Exhibited: Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art , Santa Fe, NM Private collection, la Jolla, CA My thanks to the collector of this oil. About this oil: This piece is inspired by the experiences of living in Colorado, where the natural beauty and vibrant weather encourage frequent outings with friends to explore the landscape, especially in autumn when colors are at their peak. As an artist, I have that in abundance, driving my painter friends in

Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 inches Exhibiting: Breckenridge Gallery , Breckenridge, CO $4400 framed To purchase About this oil The sky has always been a place I love to explore, a vast and open space that invites every color to dance in endless combinations. Every time I paint a sky there is the potential to venture into something new and full of possibility. Beneath this painting lies a different, “failed” sky. The colors in that version clashed and refused to harmonize, so I dec

Oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inches Exhibiting:  Sorelle Gallery , Westport, Connecticut $9250 framed To purchase On any given day, my studio is alive with canvases in various stages of creation. This particular piece had a long residency that began fourteen months ago and evolving through many changes, yet never quite finding its resolution. Over time, I explored several color directions: vivid reds with yellows, then a turn toward lavender and gold, where it remained for months a

Oil on canvas, 36 x 36 inches Exhibiting: Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art, Santa Fe, NM $5700 framed To purchase About this oil: There are times when a painting seems to come together almost effortlessly, and that was true for this piece, especially in the ethereal sky at the top. I had planned to paint a sunset but with something different than the usual deep, warm tones, opting for a softer atmosphere with cooler, unexpected colors. From the first brushstrokes, the pinks and a

Oil on canvas, 30 x 40 inches $5250 framed Exhibiting: Saks Galleries, Denver To purchase About this oil: I enjoy working with large, open spaces like this because they allow me to explore a wide range of colors and that’s exactly what I’ve done here. The presence of a hidden sun adds an extra layer of interest, helping to break up the different blues in the sky and adding warmth and drama to the clouds. Compositionally, the painting is a series of horizontal bands, each fil

At the Lights Edge Oil on panel, 30 x 30 in. Exhibiting: Sorelle Gallery , Westport, Connecticut $4400 framed To purchase About this oil: Light is the essence in all of my landscapes and along with color, it is what brings me into the studio. For this subject, I set out to push both and see what develops. I have plans to do a larger version of this view, but I first wanted to work out a number of ideas in the small scale here. This is a very high contrast concept, placing the

Yellow Lace Oil on canvas, 60 x 48 inches Exhibiting: Sorelle Gallery , Westport, Connecticut $10500 framed To purchase About this oil This was a very enjoyable oil to do. The large, 5 x 4 foot size creates a few challenges, but that was one of the things that attracted me to the idea. The other was to make a statement in a large scale, that is to create a lot of pattern, color and movement over a large surface. There is movement in every part of the canvas and I get to say i

Oil on canvas, 36 x 60 inches Exhibited: Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art , Santa Fe, NM Private collection, NC. My thanks to the couple that purchased this oil. 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 fo

All in the Glow, oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inches Exhibited, Saks Galleries, Denver Private collection, Los Angeles, CA My thank you to the collector of this oil This oil is a larger, more expansive reimagining of the earlier painting Soft Evening Colors , keeping the same basic composition while shifting the mood and intensity. In this version, the sun drops lower and burns brighter and that small change sends a warm radiance across the entire landscape. Every area of the surfa

Oil on panel, 16 x 16 inches Exhibiting, Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art , Santa Fe, NM $2150 framed To purchase About this oil: This was a throughly enjoyable painting to make. It had a mind of its own and I didn’t know what was going to happen from one moment to the next. It began with that grouping of blue trees in the back and two trees standing in the front. To complete the composition, strips of field and sky. Then I was immediately stuck... it just wasn't coming together s

Pastel on sanded paper, image 17 3/8 x 15 7/8 in. 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. The composition is like a stage where everything is on the diagonal, organized into a stage set. Against that are the random vertic
