Autumn Birch Study

June 3, 2010

7″ x 5″ oil by Niki Gulley

I painted this fall birch study with extremely thick oil paint and a palette knife. I love the movement in the strokes which contribute to the feeling of the leaves blowing in the breeze and the energy found in nature.

Climbing Trees at Cottonwood this weekend

April 30, 2010

48″ x 36″ oil on canvas

In this painting, I wanted you to you to experience the wonderment of looking up into the treetops â€“ just like you did when you were a kid. Choosing playful colors and thick chunky staccato strokes adds to that childlike whimsy and I hope you are transported back to a happy, carefree time and place.
