Textured Bluebonnet Painting by Dallas Artist Niki Gulley

May 3, 2023

24″ x 12″ Textured Acrylic on Canvas

Recently we drove all over the Texas Hill Country, taking in the beauty of this year’s gorgeous wildflower crop! I’ve always loved this old stone farmhouse in Marble Falls, so today we just had to stop so I?could paint it and the flower fantasy surrounding it. Besides a prolific year for bluebonnets, the white poppies were denser than I’d ever seen. Painting them large in the foreground, allows you to take in their individual beauty. Arranging the rows of wildflowers veritcally are designed to lift your spirits and guide you to your retreat in the distance. May you enjoy your escape to the beautiful hill country!

Texas Artist Niki Gulley Paints “Living History”

May 2, 2023

20″ x 10″ Textured Acrylic on Canvas

I am fascinated by our Texas live oaks. Their gnarly, tangled branches are unlike other trees and tell such a story of their life – twists, turns and all. Standing tall and branching wide, they offer shelter and respite from the hot Texas sun and grow where few other sentinels can survive such drought conditions. Their deep, etched bark gave me the perfect opportunity to play with color and texture – a modern take on Van Gogh!

New Palette Knife Bluebonnet Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

May 1, 2023

20″ x 10″ Textured Acrylic on Canvas

The Texas wildflowers were gorgeous and thick this year. The conditions were perfect for a super bloom explosion of color! Leaving the bluebonnets large and prominent in the foreground, rows and rows of these blue beauties lift your spirits and lead you back to the shelter of the grand old oaks. Planted together, their branches were even entangled into a heart shape, and I had to capture their steadfastness. Including bright pops of color all around the compostion all adds to the joy and energy of the moment.

“Waltz of the Sunflowers” New Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

April 12, 2023

24″ x 12″ textured mixed media painting on canvas

This winter has been so grey and cold that I had to buy a bouquet of sunflowers to cheer myself up. Not only did they do the trick, but I was also inspired to paint their infectious beauty. To lift your spirits, too, I arranged the blooms vertically in my composition and repeated the circular shapes in the foreground and background to create a sense of joyful energy and movement. I hope you can hear a beautiful symphony playing while sunflowers dance to the melodic tune.

These vibrant sunflowers can also be hung horizontally.

“Field of Dreams” Large Triptych Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

April 10, 2023

Three 48″ x 36″ canvases to form a 48″ x 90″ triptych
textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Field of Dreams is inspired from the beautiful sunflower fields we visited in Provence, France. The flowers seemed to stretch forever and the color explosion was out of this world! Back in my studio, I worked from a combination of photos, on-site sketches and memories. Painting the sunflowers full-sized in the foreground helps to bring them to life and hopefully transport you to this happy location. Including surprising pops of vivid reds and purples keeps your eye moving throughout the scene, seeing new things each time you look at it, and adds to the joyful feeling.

Textured Bluebonnet Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

March 31, 2023

SOLD • 36″ x 60″ Textured Mixed Media on Canvas

In this series, I wanted to create pieces that are full of joy, energy, texture and light. Working on oversized canvases and painting the blossoms larger than life add to that feeling of hope and exuberance. Choosing to leave the background airy and working with thick layers of white on white paint, ribbons of brightly colored blooms dance across the canvas with spontaneity and freedom. Subconsciously, I feel like these light-filled visions came to me in response to so much bad news and the COVID lockdown. Searching for a way to create more space, room to roam and the freedom to live life to its fullest, I hope these paintings bring the beauty of nature inside and fill your spirit with light and cheer.
