“Spring's Brushstrokes” ©2024 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 12" x 12” textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

Just Sold! This spring I was invited to paint on this beautiful ranch south of Dallas. I loved the contrast of the red barn doors against the sea of blue wildflowers and the azure skies above. Full of texture and character, I wanted to capture its essence on that beautiful spring day. While the air was still crisp, the sun was warming the ground, causing the foreground to glow and welcoming in spring.

Texas Hill Country pastel by Niki Gulley

"Last Light," Texas Hill Country ©2010 Niki Gulley

12" x 24" pastel

We drove down to the Texas Hill Country to see the bluebonnets, and the Willow City Loop did not disappoint! Thick masses of azure blue as far as the eye could see. I was particularly drawn to this scene late in the day when the sun was starting to set and creating interesting long lavender shadows across the gently rolling landscape.

I'll have this pastel at my booth at the Cottonwood Art Festival, cottonwoodartfestival.com this weekend f you'd like to see it in person. Or, e-mail me at Niki@NikiGulley.com for more information.

Fiesta Arts Fair - San Antonio - this weekend

"Hill Country Retreat" by Niki Gulley

24" x 36" pastel

This year the bluebonnets were amazing thanks to ideal conditions – just the right amount of rain, sun and temperatures – to produce a solid sea of blue. This patch must have stood out to passersby since there was actually a path carved out down to dirt through the bluebonnets from so many families having chosen it for their photo opportunities. I liked how the trail led you through the Texas wildflowers to the beautiful hill country retreat in the background. I chose this vantage point so that you could feel like you were standing right in the middle of the bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush.
