Texas Bluebonnets & Wildflowers oil paintings by Niki Gulley

May 4, 2011

12″ x 12″ oil painting on canvas

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

Texas Bluebonnets oil painting by Niki Gulley

7″ x 5″

I created this bluebonnet painting with palette knife and extremely thick oil paint,

up to 1/4″ in thickness. I love the texture and how these wildflowers leap off the canvas and really come to life.
