I would love to create a beautiful painting for your home!
"I have known Darla Boljat for over 30 years. She is a very special person who is insightful, compassionate, kind and honest. She has a sense of humor and she loves God, her family and her country. Darla is very focused, determined, resourceful and resilient. She brings all of this into her paintings. She uses her experiences and emotions and paints that into each painting, so one can feel the emotion through the painting. The paintings come alive. The paintings are so life like they speak to me. She uses rich colors and painting strokes to make the painting jump off of the canvas." -ANNA P, CLIENT, PORTLAND, OREGON
"We have always loved the way Darla Boljat uses colors, textures, shades and details in her paintings. We feel peaceful and calm when we look at her paintings in our home. It is like we are standing in nature.” -SAM & KIM S, CLIENTS, SHERWOOD, OREGON
" I have painted commissions of landscapes, people and animals for happy clients for more than fourteen years. With everything that is going on lately life can become stressful. Even before COVID-19 people were busy, many still are. Busyness can lead to stress. I live in the Pacific Northwest and I love to recreate the beauty and peaceful relaxing feeling that I experience when I am in nature" - DARLA, D.K. BOLJAT INC.

D.K. Boljat's process
D. K. Boljat paints lovely original paintings that will create a calmer atmosphere in your home or o
Before beginning to create a painting Sherwood Oregon artist D.K Boljat takes multiple pictures or visits the place she plans to paint. D. K. enjoys painting many different sizes of paintings. To begin a painting D.K. Boljat gessoes the canvas and paints a sketch in acrylic paint, she uses acrylic paint to create the composition. For trees D. K. will paint thicker acrylic paint where necessary like in the bark of the tree. When the sketch is donePR she varnishes in acrylic varnish and then starts small layers of oil paint to add shadow, depth and color.
The process of creating an oil painting may take several months, D. K. Boljat does not keep track of how much time a painting takes because every one of them varies. All materials used to create each painting are archival quality so the painting will last for hundreds of years. After the oil painting is done D. K. Boljat signs the painting and the drying process begins. Months later D.K. Boljat uses Damar Retouch to varnish. When dry she shops for a frame to compliment the painting.
