Our timing was perfect and the sunflowers were in full bloom. Their bright, smiling faces as big as dinner plates, the sun dappled path leading you deep into the golden field to the quaint stone farmhouse in the distance, and a beautiful summer day with a few peaceful clouds drifting by made for the ideal subject. The resulting painting is full of warmth, color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.</div></div></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: times; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><p style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">•••</p><div style="font-family: -webkit-standard; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;">For more details on my textured floral paintings, please e-mail <a href="mailto:niki@nikigulley.com">Niki Gulley.</a><br /><div style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><div style="font-family: times; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">Or, check out my website at <a href="http://nikigulley.com./">nikigulley.com</a> to see more of my contemporary landscape palette knife paintings.<br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/" border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="695" height="77" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVEaCUcZzBgo9Jik9N7igBr2YNqQs-ewKxb0TY67p03x58hD6nP9p9oHGB_UuSPnt4zn2FRg-cslJOTecI23lpoimgjM00X9jx9bPHtOzTTq00zj49wUVObwU6FILUhmzxwC086W26LU8/s200/follow_insta.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/nikigulleypainting/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="66" data-original-width="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQgwf9LCz-0NWawDPuQt1heP8pFsdGl_k3nGxB5got1bnXjGV4V9nx7FImPWPExIZH3IoKIJbRtQbv4Eurbk0yQTHEo3hTOV38iQhk6hByKSE0LfNQagyPbXAjCq-bxL4C16vEnoiHOk/" /></a></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="font-family: -webkit-standard; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Niki Gulleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00907560239501315698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861056641188120884.post-36210489520990258482024-03-15T09:26:00.001-05:002024-03-15T09:26:00.148-05:00Palette Knife Abstract Seascape Painting by Artist Niki Gulley<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNeRAjSFoiHPL-HmIi0dWM3-gDmp032GteGBvpWIZaw4ETRjvHiXz67xho7qHksAAQZpVN0ECaB7-op_r5M0rVnpcaNjnz5lMk1T6lh9iMrmnnnfZvFcnfm3c8bUkiC9gabAtZDPgD_mvV-oNjv0ULxYaPD12wLSETqxzYlS_PG_w9AI4TQD_kTk3nysI/s720/Ocean%20Breeze%20sm%2024x24%20acrylic%20outer%20banks%20dunes%20seascape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNeRAjSFoiHPL-HmIi0dWM3-gDmp032GteGBvpWIZaw4ETRjvHiXz67xho7qHksAAQZpVN0ECaB7-op_r5M0rVnpcaNjnz5lMk1T6lh9iMrmnnnfZvFcnfm3c8bUkiC9gabAtZDPgD_mvV-oNjv0ULxYaPD12wLSETqxzYlS_PG_w9AI4TQD_kTk3nysI/s320/Ocean%20Breeze%20sm%2024x24%20acrylic%20outer%20banks%20dunes%20seascape.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>"Ocean Breeze" ©2024 Niki Gulley</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">24" x 24" textured acrylic painting on canvas</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">We’re taking a break from fall foliage to soak up some warmth and sunshine along North Carolina’s Outer Banks coast.

Their gnarly, tangled branches are unlike other trees and tell such a story of their life – twists, turns and all. Standing tall and branching wide, they offer shelter and respite from the hot Texas sun and grow where few other sentinels can survive such drought conditions. Their deep, etched bark gave me the perfect opportunity to play with color and texture. Add in the mysterious swirling sky and backdrop and you get a modern take on Van Gogh!</p><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;">To see more of my contemporary landscape paintings, please visit <a href="http://www.nikigulley.com./" target="_blank">nikigulley.com.</a></div></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;"></div></div></div><p style="text-align: center;">E-mail <a href="mailto:niki@nikigulley.com">Niki Gulley</a> for more details on this live oak piece.</p><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: -webkit-standard; text-align: center;"><div style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div><div style="font-family: -webkit-standard; text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: times; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/" border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="695" height="77" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVEaCUcZzBgo9Jik9N7igBr2YNqQs-ewKxb0TY67p03x58hD6nP9p9oHGB_UuSPnt4zn2FRg-cslJOTecI23lpoimgjM00X9jx9bPHtOzTTq00zj49wUVObwU6FILUhmzxwC086W26LU8/s200/follow_insta.jpg" width="200" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/nikigulleypainting/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="66" data-original-width="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQgwf9LCz-0NWawDPuQt1heP8pFsdGl_k3nGxB5got1bnXjGV4V9nx7FImPWPExIZH3IoKIJbRtQbv4Eurbk0yQTHEo3hTOV38iQhk6hByKSE0LfNQagyPbXAjCq-bxL4C16vEnoiHOk/" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></span></div></div>Niki Gulleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00907560239501315698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861056641188120884.post-7477356849881376762024-03-13T09:24:00.001-05:002024-03-13T09:24:00.295-05:00"Morning Glow" oil painting by Contemporary Impressionist Artist Niki Gulley<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlvty2fFfYjuZVc5_Auj6J_0Nwb_HhS4kWlRfdDhUTxuPi1ruo8l2joiPUm8JP6kwscIz-Uc9lYWpbCkwTV8VF_dq7N72jA-0NCG7ovEf5GZ6YMoqBVU9FBaq952vC0GF5nG2FOX28m_0/s1600/Morning+Glow%252C+White+Rock+Lake+20x16+oil+on+canvas+Niki+Gulley.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlvty2fFfYjuZVc5_Auj6J_0Nwb_HhS4kWlRfdDhUTxuPi1ruo8l2joiPUm8JP6kwscIz-Uc9lYWpbCkwTV8VF_dq7N72jA-0NCG7ovEf5GZ6YMoqBVU9FBaq952vC0GF5nG2FOX28m_0/s320/Morning+Glow%252C+White+Rock+Lake+20x16+oil+on+canvas+Niki+Gulley.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>"Morning Glow, White Rock Lake" ©2022 Niki Gulley</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;">SOLD</span></b> • oil on canvas • 20" x 16"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">On a peaceful spring morning, I set up my easel at White Rock Lake to capture the sun rising behind this beautiful, tangled Cottonwood tree.

For instance, our neighbors at our campsite chose to park their black sedan right here in the middle of our picturesque view. Oh, well! The scenery beyond was still beautiful and I was able to take some photos on my camera to finish this one up at home. It also gave us a good excuse to take a scooter ride on that beautiful 70 degree day and check out the picturesque nature trails in the North Carolina Arboretum.

I keep dreaming about the bumper crop of bluebonnets the forecasters are predicting this year. But why wait? That is the beauty of being an artist. I can bring us the glee of springtime right now. Painting these Texas wildflowers larger than life, I wanted them to leap off the canvas, bringing joy and energy to your home. I built up so many layers in this one so that there is a richness in depth, a little mystery and various hidden surprises so that every time you gaze at it you see something new. Happy spring!</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;">***</div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;">For more details on my other Texas paintings, please e-mail <a href="mailto:niki@nikigulley.com">Niki Gulley.</a><br /><a href="mailto:niki@nikigulley.com"><br /></a><a href="mailto:niki@nikigulley.com">Or, check out my website at </a><a href="http://nikigulley.com./">nikigulley.com</a> to see more of my contemporary landscape palette knife paintings.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: times; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><br /></div><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/" border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="695" height="77" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVEaCUcZzBgo9Jik9N7igBr2YNqQs-ewKxb0TY67p03x58hD6nP9p9oHGB_UuSPnt4zn2FRg-cslJOTecI23lpoimgjM00X9jx9bPHtOzTTq00zj49wUVObwU6FILUhmzxwC086W26LU8/s200/follow_insta.jpg" width="200" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/nikigulleypainting/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="66" data-original-width="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQgwf9LCz-0NWawDPuQt1heP8pFsdGl_k3nGxB5got1bnXjGV4V9nx7FImPWPExIZH3IoKIJbRtQbv4Eurbk0yQTHEo3hTOV38iQhk6hByKSE0LfNQagyPbXAjCq-bxL4C16vEnoiHOk/" /></a></div></div></div></div></div>Niki Gulleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00907560239501315698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861056641188120884.post-62849343402288252602024-02-29T08:00:00.005-06:002024-02-29T08:00:00.385-06:00New "Symphonic Expressions" Large Abstract Texas Painting by Niki Gulley<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDUpJfq3r9Hj4QtTQ6sdSJEIH7IAA90sL8URDCEY8g7I36-XYl85buyYOiY_Zl91CexeODmYMmsL063nRhMHLxvKOGBBQo1pSx9eTxIk3ooUQoMubwvoZUDOeKz-naWZ2byYM62Y1lRaQ69IXk9R7RkELOA-fkpeAJe0gLGhL1qcBwAi10HQdy0ZjNcs/s3267/Symphonic%20Expressions%2048x60%20wCL.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2604" data-original-width="3267" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDUpJfq3r9Hj4QtTQ6sdSJEIH7IAA90sL8URDCEY8g7I36-XYl85buyYOiY_Zl91CexeODmYMmsL063nRhMHLxvKOGBBQo1pSx9eTxIk3ooUQoMubwvoZUDOeKz-naWZ2byYM62Y1lRaQ69IXk9R7RkELOA-fkpeAJe0gLGhL1qcBwAi10HQdy0ZjNcs/s320/Symphonic%20Expressions%2048x60%20wCL.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: start;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>“Symphonic Expressions" ©2024 Niki Gulley</b></div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;">48" x 60" textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin: 0px;"></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: start;"><div>My labor of love this past month! With the canvas as wide as I am tall, and so many ups and downs my step ladder painting it, this one was quite the workout. But, it was important for me to completely immerse you in the energy found amongst nature. This painting is best seen in person so that you can step into this life-size canvas and feel our Texas' landscape's beauty yourself.<br /><br />I made sure to not over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the vivacity found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting. Rendering the bluebonnets and wildflowers along with their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and putting a new twist on it. Voluminous and dramatic clouds surround your journey into this uplifting symphonic expression of peace and hope.</div><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;">***</div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;">For more details on my other Texas paintings, please e-mail <a href="mailto:niki@nikigulley.com">Niki Gulley.</a><br /><a href="mailto:niki@nikigulley.com"><br /></a><a href="mailto:niki@nikigulley.com">Or, check out my website at </a><a href="http://nikigulley.com./">nikigulley.com</a> to see more of my contemporary landscape palette knife paintings.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: times; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><br /></div><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/" border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="695" height="77" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVEaCUcZzBgo9Jik9N7igBr2YNqQs-ewKxb0TY67p03x58hD6nP9p9oHGB_UuSPnt4zn2FRg-cslJOTecI23lpoimgjM00X9jx9bPHtOzTTq00zj49wUVObwU6FILUhmzxwC086W26LU8/s200/follow_insta.jpg" width="200" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/nikigulleypainting/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="66" data-original-width="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQgwf9LCz-0NWawDPuQt1heP8pFsdGl_k3nGxB5got1bnXjGV4V9nx7FImPWPExIZH3IoKIJbRtQbv4Eurbk0yQTHEo3hTOV38iQhk6hByKSE0LfNQagyPbXAjCq-bxL4C16vEnoiHOk/" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div>Niki Gulleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00907560239501315698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861056641188120884.post-78144985400407777562024-02-28T08:22:00.001-06:002024-02-28T08:22:00.192-06:00"Winding Water" from the Willow City Loop by Niki Gulley<p> </p><div><p style="text-align: center;"> <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJrsA0N-OMMyGhmeiC4WALUy8eVpqhxG7VbxM7Qgjy6OBh3Gv9gOXOBx0yfTz-K0zpAD4djHpKsSCCT6lDK52tOj9mg-GMcUMSU7AQmauiPPH_JUBZSEydxeJwIDPY1yu9ql7akNse3y7WBd3jF5ixyolPxmavEqdsA6FQUZ-68_0vt0DSE259Y2Ur=s1144" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1144" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJrsA0N-OMMyGhmeiC4WALUy8eVpqhxG7VbxM7Qgjy6OBh3Gv9gOXOBx0yfTz-K0zpAD4djHpKsSCCT6lDK52tOj9mg-GMcUMSU7AQmauiPPH_JUBZSEydxeJwIDPY1yu9ql7akNse3y7WBd3jF5ixyolPxmavEqdsA6FQUZ-68_0vt0DSE259Y2Ur=s320" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>"Winding Water" ©2022 Niki Gulley </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;">SOLD</span></b> • 9" x 12" palette knife oil painting</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Painted on location along the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg, TX, I was drawn to this tranquil spot, especially as the day was getting hotter. When I started the scene, there were just a few shadows being cast from the trees on the right but they kept growing as I was painting! I liked the rhythm they were creating so I decided to include their patterns and go ahead and chase the light (which is a no no for plein air painters). But there's always exceptions to the rules, right? I hope you enjoy this cool peaceful place as much as I did.</div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"></div><br style="text-align: left;" /><div><div style="font-family: times;
