New “Autumn Brushstrokes” Palette Knife Painting by Asheville Artist Niki Gulley
12″ x 12″ textured acrylic on canvas panel
Can you feel nature’s energy as cooling autumn breezes dance through the vibrant foliage? As leaves start to fall, glimpses of the distance peeks and valleys shine through and your journey is illuminated with gorgeous mountain views. Incorporating bold, broad, skipping strokes add to that feeling of joy and rejuvenation while thick, chunky texture brings this sculptural painting to life.
It’s not just about what you see, but what you can feel
It’s not just about what you see, but what you can feel – that’s why I love how the raised paint catches light and creates shadows, making the artwork come alive from every angle. ?
Interesting fact: These textured strokes aren’t just visual – they allow my blind father to ‘see’ my paintings through touch, adding another dimension to how art can be experienced. ?

Nature’s Inspiration by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley
There’s something magical about protecting your studio time. When nothing interrupts the flow, stories emerge through color and texture that I never expected. What time of day do you feel most inspired? ?

Tuscany Poppy Field Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley
Before we started teaching in Provence, we first took a direct flight to Rome and explored more of Tuscany for a few days before we flew onto France. Remembering from the past that May is usually a perfect time to find poppy fields, we thought we’d find the ruby beauties everywhere. Wrong! Thus began our crazy quest in search of the elusive poppy. And, after a week of scouring the countryside, we finally found them! Of course, they were right next to our b and b, but in a direction we hadn’t explored all week.
But, once we did finally discover them, the vibrant pops of red just lifted my spirits. Combined with gorgeous skies and dramatic lighting, it was truly inspiring and so much fun to paint after 2 solid rainy days. Hope you can feel and experience all of that joy, too!

Visiting Siena, Italy – Tuscany Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
12″ x 9″ oil painting by Niki Gulley
On the third day of our Tuscany Art Trek, we visited the Medieval hill town of Siena, with its incredible marble Duomo, great people-watching plaza, and interesting alleyways radiating out from the campo with something new to discover around every turn. While some of our group shopped, some photographed and others relaxed on the square, I set up in one of the quiet cobble streets to capture the textures of these ancient walls and mood of this unique city. For dinner that night, we treated ourselves to a delicious home-made Italian meal of pastas, truffles, pecorino cheese and some amazing red wine!

Joyful Mountainous Wildflower Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley
“Mountain Majesty” • 36″ x 48″ textured acrylic painting
Colorful wildflowers fill Colorado’s undulating grassy hills with joy and hope. Sweeping clouds dance overhead while nature’s palette puts on a harmonic concert below. Making sure to not over blend my thick strokes allows you to see the marks and feel the peaceful energy. Repeating patterns and waves of greens, golds and blues create a harmony within the painting, while rendering the blooms and their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and showing it in a contemporary way.

Painting Poppy Fields in Tuscany with Niki Gulley
This beautiful poppy scene was inspired by the view out our window in Tuscany! The vibrant red carpet filled fields lifted our spirits every time we gazed outside, and I had to paint this one from our room. Cypress trees framed the scene and the constantly changing light cast dramatic shadows on the distant mountains and villa while billowing clouds drifted by. I hope this one transports you to this happy place and takes all of your worries with it!
