But also historical and old monuments had his great admiration and were painted often by Boyé. He has painted almost all historical monuments and buildings. Most of his work is painted on canvas with oil. During his stay in The Netherlands Boyé painted mostly winter scenes on wood. He also made drawings of caricatures of politicians. He received a lot of order for paintings and received the first price for a painting of a town house at Groot Davelaar. He sold many of his painting during his exposition in The Netherlands.
As an old fashioned painter Boyé stretched the canvas himself and very often he made his own frames. He really loved painting and considered painting a hobby and not his profession or an obligation. Although he became sick and knew he had to leave this world, he kept on painting, always in the same cheerful spirit. Knowing his paintings weren't turning out as good as before, he kept on painting till the very end.
