Chromatic Foothills

Chromatic Foothills — Original Acrylic on Canvas

24” x 48” by Suzanne DeSoleil

In Chromatic Foothills, Suzanne DeSoleil transforms the familiar landscape of the Boise foothills into a bold meditation on color, balance, and emotion. Each band of terrain radiates with its own energy — salmon, chartreuse, forest green, and grey-green — merging into a living symphony of light and land.

DeSoleil’s signature brushwork celebrates the rhythm of the earth itself, where form and color vibrate in harmony. The piece captures the essence of Idaho’s wild beauty — grounded yet transcendent, bold yet deeply peaceful. It invites the viewer to feel both the stillness of the hills and the pulse of the life within them.

Artist Insight:
This view from Table Rock is one I return to often — hiking, climbing, and bouldering as the sun melts into the horizon. Each sunset transforms the land, painting the rocks with shifting color and breath. Bouldering has become a moving meditation for me — a way to listen to the land through my hands, and to let that love translate into paint.
