Every time you follow, like, or comment, it helps more people discover art. Like this original painting by Janet Dyer, called, “House in Snow”.

Social media can feel chaotic, but it’s still one of the most powerful tools we have to share real art with real people.

The recent election results give me hope for the future!

So I want to keep up the momentum and “Let's save our beautiful Blue Marble!”

I’m grateful to everyone who’s collected from Boese Galleries.

With its thick, golden fur and commanding presence, this grizzly bear reflects the raw beauty of nature, perfect for any space that celebrates wild things and the power of apex predators in the animal kingdom. Set against a backdrop of greens and earth tones, this piece invites you to appreciate the untamed spirit of nature.

Art is one of the few things that asks you to pause in a world of sensory overload.

But sometimes it means “A Sprint at the Start!”

Whether you are standing & cheering or taking off at the start (like at the recent NYC Marathon!), it's the pause that refreshes!

#BlueskyArt
The raw energy of a race's beginning, released by the starter pistol. Nothing like it. High contrast sets off in stark relief the determination on each runner's face, while the blurred background shows the rush of speed and adrenaline. This high contrast piece highlights athletes as they launch into action, capturing the thrill of the race. This image in your space is a powerful reminder of ambition and pursuit, driving energy and inspiration.

What are your favorite fall traditions? I want to hear all about them while you take a peek at “Tall Grasses in the Sun.”

You tell me yours, and I’ll tell you mine.

This cozy time of year just makes traditions feel extra special.

Walk into this tranquil meadow in Bernadette Longo's photograph, "Tall Grasses in the Sun." This print captures delicate tips of feathery grass stalks swaying in the breeze, dancing in the sun's rays. Soft, earthy tones and rich textures invite you to lose yourself in the moment.

You’re fighting to same US democracy. But let's remember self care!

Here’s a bit of art to ground you—a waving American flag, titled “We MUST Save Our Democracy!”

Just a little reminder: you have permission to rest and to enjoy this season.

✨ www.chrisboese.photo/democracy

#BlueskyPhotography
"We MUST Save Our Democracy!" captures the essence of patriotism and resilience. Set against a vibrant blue sky, this art showcases a reversed American flag, symbolizing the uphill fight for freedom and unity in the face of creeping authoritarianism. A powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to protect democracy.

My brother Tim Boese's photograph, “Alaska Lake Sunrise” really pops in this room setting. I love it!

Still waters before the rising dawn, taken near his home in Alaska.

His whole gallery at Boese Galleries highlights his unique eye.

You’re invited...to slow down.

Fall is here, the holidays are coming, and it’s easy to get swept up in the chaos.

Here’s a bit of art to ground you—“Monastery Trees, Winter.” There's more art to browse in our galleries.

The world is resting, you can too!

The #NoKings protests were historic! Big or small, our protests made memories that will last forever. Hold on to the community vibe!

#BlueskyArt
In "Red State Resilience," defiant progressives in Palmer, Alaska line the main intersection in town, to make sure their neighbors know there will be “No Kings in America.” In individualistic Alaska, mountains frame a valley carved by giant glaciers, and its citizens believe there is no force too big to be resisted. The vibrant display of American flags and bold signs showcase diverse voices demanding to be heard. Each citizen creates a powerful narrative of hope and determination. This piece illustrates strength in unity, a compelling addition to any space that values activism and community.

Art is all about celebrating creative expression—and the truth is, there’s no culture without art. It’s woven into the people, the places, and the stories that shape us.

It’s a space where you can explore all of our work—without ever leaving home.

Now featuring new art from my 2-month summer road trip to Alaska!

#BlueSkyArtists #photography #bear
A massive grizzly bear grazes for fresh green shoots along the Alaska Highway in Yukon Territory, Canada. It has no interest in the photographer, protected in a car. Its thick fur and powerful presence leads us to reflect on the relationship between wildlife and humans who cherish and respect them, revealing the rawness of life in the wild.

Happy International Artist Day! This is “Liberty's Call Against Oligarch Greed.”

Today’s all about celebrating creative expression—and the truth is, there’s no culture without art.

Just think, a centuries-old, massive green sculpture is a global symbol of Liberty!

Lady Liberty stands defiantly at a “No Kings” event in red state Alaska, protesting the uneven distribution of wealth in the U.S. In a flowing mint-green robe and whimsical hat, she brandishes signs that say, "Stop the Billionaire Takeover" and "Fight Truth Decay."

Ordinary folks don't often think of themselves as art collectors. Does it sound too high-falutin'?

It's just about actively curating your spaces, your home. Keeping it real.
