New Joyful Abstract Bluebonnet Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

October 14, 2024

SOLD • 34″ x 34″ textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas

Just sold through the Good Art Company Gallery! 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!

“Autumn’s Tapestry” Kid’s Perspective Painting by Niki Gulley

October 11, 2024

textured oil painting on board • 20″ x 20″

In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up into the treetops and heavens above. Choosing uplifting golds and reds contrasted against a turquoise-blue sky with gentle clouds drifting by, I’ve arranged the aspens in a circular pattern to give you a sense of laying on the ground, surrounded by the forest. Using diagonal leading lines with the tree trunks and limbs, your eye gazes into the focal point where all of the elements come together. Meanwhile, utilizing thick, curving paint strokes adds to that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery.

“Whispers in Time” Aspen Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

October 9, 2024

30” x 30” textured oil painting

Colorado’s celebrated quaking aspen trees stand arrow straight in the valleys and

up and down the hills.

Slim white trunks sing out against the forest background and each leaf provides

a sparkling symphony of notes whispering through the mountains.

Flames of yellow leaves flicker against autumn’s burning reds

and the deep, cool blue mountain streaked with late light.

This painting captures the breathtaking colors of

Colorado in the fall, the Aspens at their most beautiful, and the peaceful rustling murmur and musical sigh of the fluttering leaves.

What a beautiful surprise to have these roses blooming in my garden this winter! Of course the next night it was supposed to freeze and I couldn’t let these beauties go to waste. After cutting and assembling them in a vase, I just kept staring at them as they were bringing so much color and joy to the grey day. Despite several projects on my plate, I had to take a break and capture these rosy fleeting blooms. May they bring some vibrancy to your winter days, too.
