New “Leading the Way,” Tuscany – Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

“Leading the Way,” Tuscany ©2015 Niki Gulley
24″ x 12″” textured oil painting on gallery wrap canvas

Inspired by our travels to Italy, cypress trees rise out of the rolling landscape signaling that you have arrived in Tuscany. Arranging the trees in diagonal patterns, they beckon you to travel down the path they line while softly drifting clouds repeat the shape of the dirt road and create a harmony, leading you into the distance where something amazing may lie. You only need to venture forth to find out!

“Leading the Way” along with several of my new palette knife paintings are on exhibit at the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX. If interested in more information on pricing or purchasing this palette knife poppy painting, please contact goodartcompany.com/gac/.

New Sunflower Palette Knife Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

SOLD • 24″ x 12″ textured oil painting •  ©2016 Niki Gulley
Just Sold! I wanted this piece to be uplifting and full of color and energy. Set beneath an azure sky on a beautiful day in summertime with the sunflowers in full bloom, I hope all of your cares drift away while gazing into this cheerful scene.

In this vertical floral series, I’ve framed the paintings in espresso floater frames so that you can still see the textured oil paint continuing around the edges of the canvas. These sunflowers look great hung alone or in a grouping, too!

Poppy Passion ©2012 Niki Gulley
18″ x 36″ • Textured painting on canvas

I absolutely love it when I come across a whole field of wildflowers – there is something about the transformation of a single dainty flower into a dense explosion of color that inspires awe and delights your senses. So in Poppy Passion, I combined memories of places I’ve been with intense saturated colors to convey that joy I feel when I come across a gorgeous field of poppies.

Poppy Diptych

“Bursting with Color” ©2012 Niki Gulley
Two 24” x 24” textured oil paintings on canvas to form a 24” x 48” diptych

I love it when we are driving leisurely through the countryside and we come across a gorgeous field of wildflowers. The sudden burst of color thrills your senses! Playing with color and texture, I feel like this poppy painting radiates with energy and captures the joy you feel on one of the first beautiful days of spring. With this series, you can purchase either the left or the right painting to hang alone or display both side by side to form a panorama diptych.

The March edition of American Art Collector magazine mentioned myself and Dallas artist Barbara Mason in their floral section. Picture in the article is “Bursting with Color.”
