Poppy painting by Niki Gulley
5” x 7”

I created this poppy study with palette knife and extremely thick paint to achieve texture and dimension. I love how the bright colors pop and brighten up any room, and how the strokes contain so much movement and energy. Pair with one of my other sunflower or poppy studies to hang in a series.

To see these paintings in person, stop by my booth at Ann Arbor, MI’s Art Festival this week, a2statestreetartfair.com, or e-mail me at [email protected] for more information.

Bluebonnet Oil Painting

November 30, 2009

“April Blooms V” • 7″ x 5″
Bluebonnet oil painting by Niki Gulley

With these bluebonnets I wanted to create a sense of depth – almost how a photographer uses selective focus, to really show off the bluebonnets by making the background of Indian Paintbrush blurry.

Our Texas Artists’ Show at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas is down to its last two weeks. I hope you can stop by and see this bluebonnet painting and all of the other talented artists’ works before the exhibition is finished.
