Experience Asheville’s Gorgeous Fall Foliage in Niki Gulley’s Paintings

November 8, 2023

Just WOW!!! Our timing in Asheville was perfect. Gorgeous peak color and ideal 70 degree days. The view from our campsite was spectacular and I had to capture those autumn hues before they were gone. Especially since the leaves were falling into my paint as soon as I mixed the next color. I hope you can feel pure joy and energy in this one! And, there may be a little extra real leaf texture as a bonus.

New Palette Knife Waterfall Painting by Impressionist Niki Gulley

November 6, 2023
So many waterfalls. So little time! Since this one is a shorter hike – just 100 steps down and then we merely had to climb over and balance on some slippery rocks, this was my painting spot! Listen to the cathartic rhythm of those rushing falls. Enjoy your escape with us to the mountains.

Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley Paints Vibrant Fall Foliage

November 3, 2023
Today we are touring the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah Forest outside of Asheville, NC. WOW!!!! The fall colors are amazing! I am in my happy place with inspiration at every turn. We finally found a large enough spot to pull over and park the RV so I could paint this gorgeous view. Hope you enjoy the scenery and escape as much as we did!

“Scenic Byway” Palette Knife Oil Painting from New Mexico by Niki Gulley

November 2, 2023

  

“Scenic Byway” ©2022 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 20″ x 10″ textured oil painting on canvas

Just sold through The Good Art Company Gallery! Painted just outside of Santa Fe, the fall colors in were gorgeous! We arrived shortly after sunrise to capture the best light of the day, but unfortunately the temperature was starting out near 32 degrees. Luckily the temperatures rose quickly as the morning wore on, I was able to shed my parka and winter gear, and it ended up being a beautiful day. I hope you, too, enjoy a leisurely drive through the beautiful autumn scenery of New Mexico.

New Contemporary Impressionistic Ocean Painting by Niki Gulley

October 30, 2023

   

I love everything about going to the beach. I love gazing into the endless horizon while listening to the rhythmic sounds of waves crashing against the shore. I love feeling the warmth of the sun against my skin while the cool sand squishes between my toes. And, I love how all of my cares disappear and I feel completely at peace engulfed in the moment.

So, getting to paint along the shoreline is almost as close as it gets to perfection! I hope you, too, can feel the joy and serenity of gazing at the ocean in this piece.

Palette Knife Abstract Seascape Painting by Artist Niki Gulley

October 27, 2023

  

We’re taking a break from fall foliage to soak up some warmth and sunshine along North Carolina’s Outer Banks coast. Listen to those rhythmic ocean waves! Talk about relaxing and just what the doctor ordered. Letting the sounds guide me and going with the flow of the moment, I left this one loose with abstract passages. I hope you can feel the joy and energy in this painting, and escape with me.

Cathartic Seascape by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

October 26, 2023

  

Today we hit the beach and relaxed all day! With my feet in the sand, and my painting balanced on my lap, I had to capture the gorgeous ocean view. Photos never seem to do justice to the sound and movement of the ocean waves, so I wanted to capture that feeling better in paint. Of course, that is quite a challenge since the water is always moving! So, I would time my strokes in-between waves so that I could watch and memorize their shape and energy. I hope you can feel the rhythmic catharsis of these tides lapping against the shore and leave all of your cares behind.

Serenity Now! Escape with Artist Niki Gulley to the Outer Banks

October 25, 2023

 

After nine days of grey, cold and sometimes rainy weather, I really needed to warm up and soak up some Vitamin D sunshine. So, we took a detour from fall foliage and headed to North Carolina’s Outer Banks. We found an amazing campsite right on the water, and this was our view out our window for the next 2 days! While a little windy our first night, the next morning I woke to beautiful, calm blue waters and I just had to paint that serene view. Those 2 hammocks were calling my name to just relax. I hope you can escape with me into this peaceful, cathartic seascape.
