Dallas landscape painting

“Reflections in Time” by Niki Gulley

August 17, 2012

SOLD • Oil on canvas • 24” x 36”

Just sold! This painting is inspired by one of my favorite spots just ten minutes from our home in Dallas. It was a perfect autumn day with a slight breeze and the peaking autumn colors were more vibrant than usual. With such a gentle wind, the vivid foliage and gorgeous fluffy clouds were reflected fairly clearly in the water and yet at the same time, I chose to create fluid moving strokes to suggest the peaceful energy in that moment.

“Choices Await” commissioned oil painting

August 12, 2011

SOLD • 18″ x 48″ textured oil painting

Just delivered – a recently completed commissioned painting of a larger version of one of my earlier works. My collector was drawn to the peaceful water theme and liked the idea behind the two piers. Which path should you take? The scene also reminded her of the lake that she goes canoeing on, and the joy and tranquility this special place brings her.

Time Passages oil painting of White Rock Lake by Niki Gulley

April 29, 2011

12” x 24” textured oil on wrap around canvas

Near to sunset at White Rock Lake.

Sparkling sunlight peeks through the trees in the late afternoon.

Two paths present themselves to you:

one is broad – straight forward, comfortable, quick, drawing you into the lowly darks;

another path curves and winds, less known, slower, meandering, toward the autumn brightness. Such is life. Which path is yours? It is a delightful dilemma,

a problem you will solve by making this one of a kind original oil painting your own.

This intriguing art of White Rock Lake and many other paintings by Niki Gulley
are available for purchase.

Autumn Symphony pastel

July 21, 2010

Pastel • 24” x 36”

This is a quiet, protected creek by our house that I like escaping to when I need a break from city life. On this perfect autumn day, there was the gentlest of breezes rustling the leaves, the vibrant fall foliage was at its peak and the only sounds to be heard came from the trickling of the nearby waterfall and the birds’ sweet melodies.

To see this pastel in person, visit my booth, #B212, at the State Street Art Show in Ann Arbor, MI that runs from today through Saturday. a2statestreetartfair.com

Winter’s Calm

December 21, 2009

This pastel was inspired by one of our few snowfalls in Dallas a few years ago. I bundled up and ran out with my camera in the morning to capture the moment before the sun melted all of the snow later that day. Having grown up in Chicago, I love the beauty and peacefulness from the first snowfall of the year. I just prefer living here so that it doesn’t last more than a day and there’s no shoveling involved!
