I also purchased a Dubois painting in the 80's. It is a 24x36 oil in muted pastels green and blue. Woman and girl wearing long skirts. Woman has a hat with a blue ribbon. Standing on a rise overlooking a river with several sailboats. clump of trees by the subjects. 2 buildings across the river among a wooded area. Wood be interested in anything about the artist.

I have an oil painting too signed 'DuBois'. I bought it in a charity shop in Bristol, UK three years ago.This person must have been very industrious, not very divers though since me shows the same motiv like the others decribed, lake, sailing boats, two females in Victorian attire, two trees, all in pastels and distinctly pointy and brush strokes and thickly apllied paint, apart from the backgrund, which is more flatly painted. I do not think it is very valuable, however what strikes me that his/her paintings are around the world....

I was trying to identify an old painting we have. Its a canvas oil painting the best I can date it is possibly late 1800s to more likely early 1900s based on the known history. Our painting features a medium size dutch looking windmill surrounded by weeping willow trees and white red roofed house in the foreground. A river passing with whitecap rapids leads foreground into background. Background across the river is another white red roofed house trees have a yellowish autumn appearance.

To my untrained eye I thought they were the same painter as other pictures posted here, because of the similarity of the houses. Brush strokes are somewhat heavier on ours. It is signed J. Du Bois similar but I think slightly different signature compared to signatures on other pictures posted here.

Did you ever find out anything about the artist?

I have just inherited a beautiful and unusual oil painting on wood and is signed J DuBois. It seems very different from the ones described in this thread. It is a scene of a "party", for want a of a better word, with many people in 17th century dress, probably from the continent rather than the UK, having a great time.... The dog is asleep. Any bright ideas of it's background?

I have a beautiful one. A woman with a parasol.. on a hillside with wild flowers facing away and towards a white building with a red roof. blue ribbon around her waist.. all pastels .. just lovely in a large frame. I got mine at a sale in northern California... no idea on the artist but the same style as the ones posted and same signature...
