Nature’s Masterpieces amongst the Texas Wildflowers

February 12, 2025

Nature creates the most beautiful masterpieces.

As an artist, I’m simply here to translate that beauty onto canvas, capturing not just the colors, but the feeling of standing in a field of wildflowers swaying in the breeze.

There’s something magical about how each flower adds its own unique voice to nature’s symphony. Just like in life, it’s our differences that create the most beautiful harmonies. ?

What speaks to your soul in nature?

February 4, 2025

Painting and Photographing Castles with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

January 17, 2025

Since I hand’t had my fill of castles yet, I painted yet another majestic fortress in Tuscany. Starting in the afternoon and continuing until it was almost too dark to see any longer, I captured the scene on canvas while Scott photographed the view as the sun was setting. I love the long winding cypress road inviting you to visit. Such a magical evening!

“Blossoming Dreams II” Abstract Bluebonnet Painting by Niki Gulley

January 13, 2025

SOLD • 24″ x 36″ textured mixed media painting on 1.5″ wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges

Just sold! I wanted to show Texas’ spring landscape in a completely different way. Making sure not to over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the energy found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting, while rendering the bluebonnets and wildflowers along with their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and showing it in a contemporary way. With an aura of mystery, late day light touches the tops of the grasses and hills with glimmers of hope.

“Popping Magic” by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

January 7, 2025

18″ x 24″ textured acrylic painting on canvas

I painted “Popping Magic III” this spring not too far from my home. This might have been one of the best years for the poppies and wildflowers. The explosion of color was incredible! This morning started out slightly overcast, and the sun kept peeking in and out of the clouds, creating a soft glow to everything it touched. I wanted to capture that radiant light and joyful energy illuminating your journey as you wander through this magical field of blooming glory. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of springtime with the wildflowers abloom!
