“Daffodils” Contemporary Impressionistic Floral Pastel by Niki Gulley

February 20, 2024

“Daffodils” ©Niki Gulley

18″ x 24” pastel on paper

Daffodils are symbols of spring and in many cultures their blooms kick off the start of many festivals. For me they just seem to make me happy. The petals appear to dance in the breeze with the colors inviting you in for a closer look. Their beauty is fleeting though, so I had to capture them quick before they faded out until next year.

32? x 26? framed size • pastel on board

Framed as shown in silver metal frame with off white mat • (will be shipped in frame for protection, but will probably need to be reframed)

What a treat to find this little guy taking a break on these elephant ears at the Dallas Arboretum. The black and orange of this monarch butterfly caught my eye but the curves of the ears led me right to him. Vibrant yellows with a rainbow of colors fill the background.

Contemporary Floral Triptych Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

February 18, 2024

Three 36” x 18” mixed media paintings on canvas to form a 36″ x 54″ triptych

Spreading their joy across the landscape, I wanted to capture the rhythm, color, and density of beautiful, uplifting wildflowers in bloom. Starting with the first signs of spring when prolific bluebonnets carpet the hills, moving into May as vibrant poppies cast their merriment and energy, and finally transitioning into mid-summer when the amazing aromas of lavender fill the air. Dreamy light illuminates the sky and dances across the blanketed fields to bring nature’s glory, hope and serenity to your home.

Please visit the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX at goodartcompany.com/niki-gulley for more details on this “Chromatic Transitions” triptych filled with joy, color and texture!

And, you won’t want to miss their 15 year anniversary celebration on Feb. 3rd!

Autumn Aspen Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

December 29, 2023

18″ x 24″ textured mixed media painting

on 1.5″ wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges

I loved this brilliant aspen forest with its bright white aspen trunks slicing through all of the vibrant red and yellow foliage. The patterns of the trees created a sort of rhythm and I focused on the placement of the ivory sentinels, the diagonal purple shadows that they cast and the rustling of the leaves to add to that musical feeling. I hope you, too, can sense the energy and joy of being surrounded by nature as autumn is in full swing.

New Colorado Wildflower Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

December 27, 2023

Crimson Paintbrush fill Colorado’s undulating grassy fields with color joy. Making sure to not over blend my thick strokes allows you to see the marks and feel the peaceful energy, as nature’s palette holds a harmonic concert. Repeating patterns and waves of color 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.

“Arms to Heaven” Uplifting Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

December 26, 2023

30″ x 30″ textured mixed media painting on 1.5″ deep canvas with the painting wrapping around the edges

In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and heavens above. Choosing uplifting autumn tones contrasted against a turquoise blue sky, gentle clouds drift by as the sun peeks through casting its magical light on everything it touches and lifting your spirits. Arranging the trees in a circular pattern gives you a sense of laying on the ground, surrounded by the forest and directs your eye to hope’s focal point. Utilizing thick, energetic paint strokes adds to that joyful, playful feeling of promise and discovery.
