Texas Bluebonnets & Indian Blanket

December 19, 2011

12″ x 12″ textured oil painting on canvas

I painted these Texas bluebonnets and Indian Blanket with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve extreme texture. The resulting image comes to life and is loaded with color and energy. In this wildflower series, I’ve painted the scene around the edges of the canvas on 1 and 1/2″ deep stretcher bars so that the paintings can be hung without a frame for a unique sculptural effect.

To see more of my bluebonnet and Texas paintings, visit nikigulley.com/?page_id=898. The 12″ x 12″ squares look great hung in pairs and threes!

Texas Bluebonnets Oil Painting

April 21, 2010

12″ x 24″ oil painting

Bluebonnets in Ennis, Texas on a beautiful clear day. I thought it was important to get both the red barn and the pond in this painting to set the scene, so in order to balance all of that weight on the right hand side of the picture, I chose a panorama format to include the trees and driveway on the left side of the property.

I’ll have this painting and several other Texas landscapes at Southlake’s Art in the Square this weekend. I hope you can stop by!
