"Symphonic Expressions" Large Abstract Texas Painting by Niki Gulley

“Sunset Symphony" ©2024 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 48" x 60" textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas

Moving cross-country with two art studios worth of supplies is... interesting! 😅 Found paint tubes in places I didn't even know existed.

So glad we could deliver this 48" x 60" to my collector's home in Dallas before we left. One less big painting to move!

Painting Vineyards in Tuscany with Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

Ok, painting in a vineyard is pretty much the dream! Got to set up my easel right between the vines, and the owner even brought over some wine to 'help with the creative process' (his words, not mine! 😄). These are the days I pinch myself.

Contemporary Floral Triptych Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

   

 "Chromatic Transitons" ©2024 Niki Gulley

SOLD • Three 36” x  18” mixed media paintings on canvas to form a 36" x 54" triptych

Just sold through the Good Art Company! Spreading their joy across the landscape, I wanted to capture the rhythm, color, and density of beautiful, uplifting wildflowers in bloom. Starting with the first signs of spring when prolific bluebonnets carpet the hills, moving into May as vibrant poppies cast their merriment and energy, and finally transitioning into mid-summer when the amazing aromas of lavender fill the air. Dreamy light illuminates the sky and dances across the blanketed fields to bring nature's glory, hope and serenity to your home.

Please visit the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX to see more of my Texas Wildflower paintings. Tomorrow night they are hosting their 16th anniversary celebration from 5-7 pm. Check it out – https://www.instagram.com/p/DC47G27yw7r/.
