“Walk About II” Textured Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

  

“Walk About II” ©2024 Niki Gulley
10″ x 20″ textured mixed media painting 
on 3/4″ wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges

Follow the deep wood’s path and wander under a canopy of sheltering leaves, light shifts through each branch and twig. Long, late rays of sunlight pierce the dreaming autumn forest, as you enter shadows dapple your journey. You are walking down a loamy path, filled with color-drenched leaves that invite you into the purple shadows where you may seek your dreams. This painting of a tranquil wood’s trail inspires your journey and your dreams with lush colors and rich images of beauty ahead.

“Rural Blues” ©2024 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 10″ x 20″ textured mixed media painting on canvas
 
 
Just sold! On our drive through Ennis this spring, the bluebonnets were so full and thick along Sugar Bush ridge. So, I set up my easel to capture this beautiful, peaceful view. I loved how the undulating hills, tree lines in the distance and wildflowers in the foreground all repeated similar shapes and wave-like patterns adding to the feeling of symmetry and serenity. I hope you, too, can feel the joy and glory of springtime in Texas!

Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley Paints Asheville’s Darnell Farms

  

 
“Rural Setting” ©2024 Niki Gulley
12″ x 9” textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

Painted on location, I?loved this old weathered barn. But, being a huge fan of the impressionists and their use of color, I was struggling with how to paint the scene with so much green grass surrounding the pastures. As I kept strolling around the farm, I came across these beautiful fuschia flowers and knew this is exactly what I?was looking for to bring joy and color to my painting. May this peaceful, nostalgic setting lift your spirtis, too!

New “Symphonic Expressions” Large Abstract Texas Painting by Niki Gulley

  

“Sunset Symphony” ©2024 Niki Gulley
48″ x 60″ textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas
 
 

My labor of love this past month! With the canvas as wide as I am tall, and so many ups and downs my step ladder painting it, this one was quite the workout. But, it was important for me to completely immerse you in the energy found amongst nature. This painting is best seen in person so that you can step into this life-size canvas and feel our Texas’ landscape’s beauty yourself.

I made sure to not over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the vivacity found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting. Rendering the bluebonnets and wildflowers along with their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and putting a new twist on it. Voluminous and dramatic clouds surround your journey into this uplifting symphonic expression of peace and hope.

New Abstracted Iris Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

   

“Joyful Interlude” ©2024 Niki Gulley
30″ x 30″ Textured Acrylic on Canvas 

My irises last year were so beautiful and prolific. Whenever I gazed at them, I experienced so much joy, that I felt compelled to capture that feeling on canvas. My goal was to create pieces that are full of energy, texture and light. Painting the flowers larger than life and adding layers and layers of paint to build up texture, the cheerful blooms come to life and dance across the canvas.

New Texas Bluebonnet Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

“Brushes with Blue” ©2024 Niki Gulley

30″ x 48″” textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas
 
 

I am so ready for spring! I keep dreaming about the bumper crop of bluebonnets the forecasters are predicting this year. But why wait? That is the beauty of being an artist. I can bring us the glee of springtime right now. Painting these Texas wildflowers larger than life, I wanted them to leap off the canvas, bringing joy and energy to your home. I built up so many layers in this one so that there is a richness in depth, a little mystery and various hidden surprises so that every time you gaze at it you see something new. Happy spring!

On our drive through the Hill Country last spring, I was drawn to this lone grouping of live oaks rising above the horizon.  Waves of Texas bluebonnets lead your eye into the distance towards that late light illuminating the wildflower filled hill and foliage. Adding pops of color in between the blooms invites your eyes to dance across the canvas and from foreground to background, feeling the excitement of the moment. Welcome to the joy and energy of springtime in Texas!
