New “Colorful Carousel” Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

“Colorful Carousel” ©2015 by Niki Gulley
 36″ x 60″ original textured oil painting

I wanted this painting to be about the power and energy in nature to invigorate your spirit, so I chose to use warm vivid colors contrasted against cool underbrush while utilizing thick staccato strokes to add to that feeling. I placed the fall foliage in curving sweeping shapes to create a sense of movement, so that you can feel the wind gently rustling the leaves and causing them to dance on a beautiful fall day.

To see my work in person, I’ll be exhibiting at Autumn and Art in Witchita, KS this weekend.
