“Maple Treetops”  ©2018 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 9″ x 12″ textured oil painting

 

Just Sold! Painted on location, I was drawn to the striking reds and oranges of the maple treetops contrasted against the vivid turquoise sky. There was so much energy in the colors and the breeze blowing through the leaves, that I had to capture that feeling. Using diagonal strokes and a lot of paint with my palette knife, this piece is filled with joy, color and movement.

“Autumn Concerto” ©2018 Niki Gulley

16″ x 20″ textured oil painting 

After we finished teaching our New England Fall Foliage Art Trek, my husband, Scott Williams, and I stayed in beautiful Vermont for another week. Each day we ventured out to capture the beautiful fall foliage on canvas and film before its intensity faded.

I painted these colorful birch trees on location with the fall hues emerging in all of their glory. I loved this grove of trunks that twisted and turned, slicing bright white through the tangle of autumn leaves. Painted over several mornings, the air was crisp but the sun made for beautiful painting conditions that illuminated the subject and warmed the air. I hope you, too, can feel the thrill of being surrounded by nature on a perfect fall day.

“Fall Majesty” ©2018 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 16″ x 20″ textured oil painting 

Just sold! Painted on location during our fall foliage tour, I was drawn to this beautiful mountain overlook with the autumn colors glowing in all of their glory. The brilliant golden aspen leaves contrasted against the cobalt violet hills in the distance, created an excitement and energy. The rainbow of foliage in-between also added to the joy of being surrounded by nature on a perfect October day.

“Autumn Concerto III” ©2018 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 12″ x16″ textured oil painting 

Just Sold! Painted on location, I returned again to capture this beautiful birch grove. This time I pulled in even closer to concentrate on the light and shadows of the crisp, white trunks. Getting in tighter created more of an abstract composition and I could focus on the rhythm and harmony of the shapes of the branches and foliage, while also capturing the beautiful sounds of the leaves rustling to nature’s morning symphony.

“Autumn Journey” ©2018 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 20″ x 16″ textured oil painting 

Just Sold through Seaside Gallery! Every day we were in New England, we’d drive through this gorgeous fall canopy. So one morning when the light was sparkling through the leaves, I decided to set my easel up along the road to capture its beauty and mystery. I loved the dramatic shadows on the road beckoning you into the autumn glow in the distance. The dappled light also created a warmth leading your eye through the painting, onto the journey ahead.
