New Abstracted Iris Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

April 9, 2024

30″ x 30″ Textured Acrylic on Canvas

My irises last year were so beautiful and prolific. Whenever I gazed at them, I experienced so much joy, that I felt compelled to capture that feeling on canvas. My goal was to create pieces that are full of energy, texture and light. Painting the flowers larger than life and adding layers and layers of paint to build up texture, the cheerful blooms come to life and dance across the canvas.

New Texas Bluebonnet Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

April 8, 2024

30″ x 48″” textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas

I am so ready for spring! I keep dreaming about the bumper crop of bluebonnets the forecasters are predicting this year. But why wait? That is the beauty of being an artist. I can bring us the glee of springtime right now. Painting these Texas wildflowers larger than life, I wanted them to leap off the canvas, bringing joy and energy to your home. I built up so many layers in this one so that there is a richness in depth, a little mystery and various hidden surprises so that every time you gaze at it you see something new. Happy spring!

New “Symphonic Expressions” Large Abstract Texas Painting by Niki Gulley

March 13, 2024

48″ x 60″ textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas

My labor of love this past month! With the canvas as wide as I am tall, and so many ups and downs my step ladder painting it, this one was quite the workout. But, it was important for me to completely immerse you in the energy found amongst nature. This painting is best seen in person so that you can step into this life-size canvas and feel our Texas’ landscape’s beauty yourself.

I made sure to not over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the vivacity found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting. Rendering the bluebonnets and wildflowers along with their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and putting a new twist on it. Voluminous and dramatic clouds surround your journey into this uplifting symphonic expression of peace and hope.

On our drive through the Hill Country last spring, I was drawn to this lone grouping of live oaks rising above the horizon. Waves of Texas bluebonnets lead your eye into the distance towards that late light illuminating the wildflower filled hill and foliage. Adding pops of color in between the blooms invites your eyes to dance across the canvas and from foreground to background, feeling the excitement of the moment. Welcome to the joy and energy of springtime in Texas!

Framed as shown in silver metal frame with off white mat • (will be shipped in frame for protection, but will probably need to be reframed)

What a treat to find this little guy taking a break on these elephant ears at the Dallas Arboretum. The black and orange of this monarch butterfly caught my eye but the curves of the ears led me right to him. Vibrant yellows with a rainbow of colors fill the background.
