Textured Bluebonnet oil painting series by Niki Gulley

"Texas Treats" ©2011 Niki Gulley

12" x 12" textured oil painting on canvas

I painted these Texas bluebonnets and with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve extreme texture. The resulting image comes to life and is loaded with color and energy. In this wildflower series, I've painted the scene around the edges of the canvas on 1 and 1/2" deep stretcher bars so that the paintings can be hung without a frame for a unique sculptural effect.

These 12" x 12" squares look great in pairs and threes! Hang them horizontally to fill space, vertically for a small wall or diagonally to lead your eye upwards, such as in a staircase.  If interested in purchasing any of these bluebonnets, e-mail Niki Gulley.

Pictured above are today's "Texas Treats IV" next to Wednesday's "Texas Treats" and Monday's "Texas Treats V" canvas.

The "Texas Treats" series hung vertically.

The "Texas Treats" series hung diagonally.
