Sunlight sparkles across shimmering water, diamonds glitter the pond’s surface; lotus blooms lift their faces toward the sun and gently dance across the  glassy expanse.
Golden sunlight filters through the brambles and ferns, a touch of cardinal red peeks through all while dreamy morning light reflects in the water.

Asheville’s Vibrant Art Scene Opens New Gallery and Artist Studios

36″ x 36″ “Floating Dreams”
Lotus Painting by Niki Gulley

Things are progressing so quickly here in Asheville! In less than a week, I’ve rented a studio in the coolest building and newest artist collective. Next to downtown, I’ve started to set up shop in the former MOOG Music Building along with many talented local artists. Part studio space, part gallery (think Torpedo Factory meets commercial gallery setting), I’m so honored and excited to be a part of this new venture.

And, if you’re in the area, let me know and I’ll be happy to show you around.

Plus on March 7th Resurrection Studios Collective will be hosting a grand opening celebration for an unforgettable evening of art, music, and community. I’d love to see you there!

Impressionist Water Lily Pastel by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

 

“Liquid Mirror” 
pastel on paper 32” x 24” framed size
Framed as shown in burl wood with teal mats (this frame has a few flaws in the corners)
 
Sunlight reflects across deep blue water,
ribbons of gold glitter the pond’s surface; 
a water lily lifts its face toward the sun and gently dances across the water. 
Golden sunlight filters through the brambles and reeds, 
a touch of cardinal red peeks through colorful foliage 
while azure skies reflect in the water.

“Reflective Radiance” textured oil painting of Monet’s Garden by Niki Gulley

SOLD • “Reflective Radiance” ©2018 Niki Gulley
Two 48″ x 18″ canvases with one 48″ x 30″ canvas in the middle to form a 48″ x 66″ triptych
Textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Just Sold! I decided it would be a fun challenge to create an extremely large painting, and I wanted the final piece to be very uplifting, colorful and full of energy. Opting for warm colors and working with extremely thick paint and palette knives, I chose this lily pond reference from our visit to Monet’s Gardens in Giverny, France. The grounds were breathtaking and I could actually see his paintings come to life. I was drawn to the energetic flow and yet calming serenity in this view, and I positioned the water lilies and my paint strokes in a curving pattern to add to that mood. The morning light peeking through the distant foliage added to a sense of mystery and promise that I wanted to capture in paint, and share with you that feeling of hope.

New Monet’s Water Lilies Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

48″ x 48″ Textured Oil Painting, Monet’s Garden ©2013 Niki Gulley • SOLD
Just Shipped – For this commissioned painting, my collectors fell in love with my water lily paintings, but I didn’t have a size canvas that would work for their living room, so they asked me to create a custom piece that was 48″ x 48″. Using thick textured oil paint and palette knives, this water lily pond inspired from our travels to Monet’s Garden, is filled with color, movement, energy and dimension.
