“Sun’s Bounty III” Palette Knife Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

June 28, 2023

SOLD • 24″ x 48″ textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Just Sold through AO5 Gallery! Sun’s Bounty 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.

E-mail Niki Gulley with any questions.

“Blazing a Trail” Abstracted Autumn Aspen Painting Niki Gulley

June 19, 2023

30” x 30″ textured mixed media painting

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

Flickering autumn leaves seem to almost dance in a gentle breeze. I wanted this scene to be filled with movement and energy, so I incorporated a lot of diagonal and curving shapes in the design to suggest that feeling. Contrasting short staccato strokes against blended passages with my palette knives, also increase that sense of motion. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of walking through the woods on a beautiful fall day, letting your cares slip away and your spirit being invigorated.

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

Enjoying the concert of aspen leaves rustling in the breeze and the beauty of fall ablaze with color, I felt invigorated as I began painting this aspen forest. The setting was so mesmerizing and rejuvenating that I wanted to communicate that joyful feeling of discovery. Filling the canvas with energetic staccato strokes and bold colors, in addition to gently arching the tree trunks reaching towards the sky, all add to that uplifting feeling of being immersed in nature’s symphony.

June 15, 2023

In this painting I wanted to create a dream-like feel using one of my favorite flowers, the poppy.
