This winter I have been inspired to begin a new series for something completely fun and different. And, to celebrate Valentine’s Day, here is my first completed piece. I wanted to show my concept of what it feels like being in love – ups and downs, twists and turns and the excitement and thrills along the ride. I’d love to hear your feedback!

Just Sold – “Triple Passion” Red Roses palette knife oil painting by Niki Gulley

“Triple Passion” ©2015 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 48″ x 24″ textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

I love the passion and energy in the color red, so I thought it would be fun to play with the still life I had set up of roses and make a painting where red was the dominant color.  In person, seeing these roses at life size, I wanted the viewer to be swept up in the movement and emotion of this piece. Utilizing flowing spirals, weaving back and forth, playful thick and thin paint in bold, loose strokes, ruby petals emerging and disappearing, all meant to tease and excite your senses.

New Palette Knife Roses by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

February 10, 2014
12″ x 12″ Red Roses by Niki Gulley
 textured oil painting on canvas 



I painted these roses from the still life with extremely thick paint and palette knife. The resulting canvas is loaded with texture, color and energy! I’ve painted it on 1 and 1/2 inch deep stretcher bars, with the image continuing around the edges so that it can be hung as is frameless for a contemporary look. 
This floral looks great hung alone to brighten up a little spot, or in a grouping with some of my other contemporary flower paintings. Hang them horizontally, vertically, on a diagonal or stacked.

E-mail Niki Gulley for more information on this piece or to find out about complimentary companion paintings.
