Textured Abstract Bluebonnet Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

      

 
“Colorful Crescendo II” ©2025 Niki Gulley

30″ x 30″ textured mixed media painting on 1.5″ gallery wrap canvas with the scene continuing around the edges

I wanted this painting to be about the joy I feel in springtime when Texas wildflowers are bursting forth, creating their symphony of colors. Magical light flows around them casting its warm glow and hope for the upcoming day. As the sun illuminates the horizon, bluebonnets and a kaleidoscope of blooms sparkle and dance across the canvas. I hope “Colorful Crescendo II” fills your heart with the power of nature to lift your spirits, energize your soul and bathe you in peace.

New “Garden Visit” from Sevilla, Spain by Impressionist Niki Gulley

 

 

“Garden Visit” – Sevilla ©2024 Niki Gulley
9″ x 12” textured acrylic painting on canvas panel
 

I found this magical spot while wandering the gardens at the Alcazar in Sevilla, Spain. It was a beautiful scene and a great way to beat the heat and enjoy some time in the shade listening to the water fountain flow. Then, to my delight a beautiful peacock strolled into my scene and I had to capture him!

Tuscany “Walled Garden” Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

   

 
“Walled Garden,” Tuscany ©2025 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 12″ x 16″ textured acrylic painting on canvas panel
 
Just sold! When we checked into our B and B in Tuscany this year, we were greeted by beautiful plantings everywhere. I fell in love with these gorgeous geraniums lining their Italian stairway and the soft light illuminating this courtyard. With my palette knife, I set out to capture all of the different textures from the Roman  stone wall to the cobble path to the brick accents. Filled with joy and color, I hope you are transported to this serene escape.

Provence Art Trek – Painting and Photography Workshop
with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
 
Day 1 
 
On the first night of our Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop that my husband, Scott Williams, and I led in southern France, we arrived at our B and B and went into town that evening for an amazing dinner at a Michelin-star restaurant. The food was out of this world, the weather was perfect for dining outside, and our new group was great company!
 
 
The next morning, our painters stayed at our b and b and painted right there since the grounds were so beautiful. I loved how the typical Provencal trees framed the composition and I could get a real sense for Cezanne’s love of the landscape. Meanwhile, the photographers visited a nearby 11th century Abbey and took some incredible photographs. We met up later that day and headed to the nearby town of Arles for lunch.

Painting in Tuscany with Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

Day 3, afternoon location – ART TREKS: TUSCANY
 with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

 

After we finished a delicious antipasto lunch of prosciuttos, local pecorino, and fresh fruits and vegetables, we headed into the hills for our painting location. Golden wheatfields undulating in the breeze lined the foreground and set the stage for this quintessential tuscan farmhouses. Peaks and valleys rise and fall in the background, signaling you are in Tuscany. Between the quiet surroundings, perfect weather, and the gorgeous scenery this proved to be a very inspiring afternoon!

New Texas Bluebonnet Landscape by Contemporary Impressionistic Niki Gulley

   

“Radiant Beauty” ©2025 Niki Gulley
48″ x 60″ textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas
 
Oh the beauty of driving through Texas in April! Waves of prolific bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush and assorted wildflowers lead you to a vanishing point just over the horizon. Where will your journey take you next? Gorgeous billowing clouds fill the sky with movement and softened light. Surprising pops of color  invite your eyes to dance around the canvas, feeling the excitement of the moment. As large as life, may you immerse yourself and get lost in the joy and energy of springtime in the hill country!
