b. 1963, Landscape artist Scott Boyle recreates a sense of place and emotion, with shapes, color, texture, and balance.  He strives to capture the harmony and essence of beauty in the world around us representing familiar vistas in North Carolina and beyond.  Scott says he finds North Carolina one of the most exciting and inspiring states to paint . . . similar to California in its uniqueness. 

Scott Boyle Artist Statement

“With my landscape paintings I strive to create with paint the temperamental effects of natural light on the world around us. This is an enormous challenge as most of my paintings are produced plein air or (outdoors).  Being there in person in the face of nature has a way of keeping me honest and growing as a representational artist.  The more time I spend outdoors painting, the more successful I can become back in the studio to produce larger works.

I am most fascinated by painters of the 19^th and 20^th and spend considerable time reading as well as visiting art museums throughout the United States.  Being inspired by works that successfully capture the fleeting effects of light, some of my favorite artists are: Sir George Clausen, Isaac Levitan, Winslow Homer, George Inness, Frits Thaulow, Claude Monet, Henry O Tanner, Edgar Payne, Clyde Aspevig, and T. Allen Lawson.

Life as a painter is an endless challenge to explore the world visually; my passion is for the one who created it and that my work might bring glory to God.”
