August 17, 2020

5″ x 7″ textured oil painting 
 
I spent the day with a friend a while back painting scenes from our local area. This was captured at the Fort Worth Stockyards as we wandered around looking for inspiration. The strong lines and curved arches complimented each other while the flowers in front lent a softness to the over all feeling.

I can’t go to Santa Fe without making a stop at Ranchos de Taos. This church has almost become synonymous with the area. With its strong base and beautiful smooth lines it has created a certain grace and elegance that sets it apart from the rest.

New Highly Textured Red Barn Painting by Niki Gulley

9″ x 12″ textured oil painting 
 
Nothing says rural America like a red barn. Just seeing one takes us to farm country with the smell of fresh cut hay, the sound of tractors and horses running in the fields.  Creating this gave me a sense of nostalgia and a connection to all of our roots.!

Stowe, VT
 
Every day we were in New England, we’d drive through this gorgeous fall canopy. So one morning when the light was sparkling through the leaves, I decided to set my easel up along the road to capture its beauty and mystery. I loved the curve of the road beckoning you into the autumn glow. The dappled light also created a warmth leading your eye through the painting, onto the journey ahead.

9″ x 12” textured oil painting

Taking a moment to relax during a road trip to Western New York, I found this picturesque place to set up and paint. The bench was situated in the perfect spot to just sit back and relax as the boats paraded across the sparkling water. What a great way to spend the morning!

“Frozen Islands” Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

August 7, 2020
“Frozen Islands” ©2020 Niki Gulley
9″ x 12” textured oil painting

One of the highlights of our Iceland trip was to visit the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Completely otherworldly, large chunks of blue ice break and float along the water’s surface while the massive glacier looms in the distance. My favorite color being aqua, I had to capture all of the gorgeous blues in the water and the ice. While a little overcast, the sun was able to peak through the clouds and create a dreamlike sunset casting a golden tint across the lagoon. A magical moment!

New Waterfall Palette Knife Painting from Iceland by Niki Gulley

August 6, 2020
“Falling Water V” ©2020 Niki Gulley
9″ x 12” textured oil painting

Across from the unique Kirkjufell mountain is the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall. Mult-tiered water flows and cascades from one layer to the next into the pool below, creating a river that eventually flows out to sea. Since it was a rather grey evening, I decided to play with the colors to create a more uplifting, fantastical scene. Using juicy, thick, diagonal strokes creates energy and movement adding to the sense of rushing water. Created with palette knife and oil paint, this piece is loaded with color, texture and joy.

New Palette Knife Barn Painting from Iceland by Niki Gulley

August 5, 2020
“Rural View” ©2020 Niki Gulley
5″ x 7” textured oil painting

Continuing our journey along the west coast of Iceland, I was taken by their simplistic architecture, often topped with bright red roofs to add a pop of color to the natural landscape. In the next several paintings, you’ll see I chose a different house or barn each day and set out to capture its shape, the colors and light hitting the structure, and the picturesque, idyllic, quiet scenery surrounding the building in all directions. Here is my first one, a small 5” x 7” study where the shape of the mountains largely resembles the design of the barn, set amidst glowing grasses without another home in sight.

Painting the Black Church in Iceland by Niki Gulley

August 4, 2020
“The Black Church,” Iceland ©2020 Niki Gulley
5″ x 7” textured oil painting

After disappointing weather in the north, we continued our adventure around the country to the west, finishing our trip on the Snaefellnes Peninsula. My husband loves architecture so the first stop on our itinerary was to visit the famous Black Church. Being the only church made of black construction material on the island, its distinctive appearance stands out rising out of a relatively large, flat plateau. I wanted to capture not only its color and shape, but the dramatic clouds surrounding it. Working with palette knife and thick oil paint, this little piece is loaded with texture, color and movement.
