Textured Hill Country Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

Willow City Loop ©2020 Niki Gulley
9" x 12" textured oil painting

I started this piece on location along the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg, TX and these interesting red rocks were calling my name! Combine their beautiful hues and shapes along with the dreamy morning light, and I thought this composition would make a perfect painting. I love bluebonnets but there were only two or three tiny ones at my feet, so I decided to use them as a guide and multiply them. That way I could paint the scene the way it would look in another two weeks. Lastly, including the road on the left reminds you to slow down and enjoy the journey.

New Palette Knife Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

 ©2020 Niki Gulley
Willow City Loop - 16" x 20" textured oil painting

Returning to the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg, TX one last day, I decided I wanted to paint the tranquil river again. This time, I arrived earlier so I could capture the light before the shadows took over the scene and I wanted to have more fun with the texture. Working thick with palette knife and thick paint, I changed the composition and pulled the river over to the left side of the canvas creating more of a contemporary feel. Keeping my strokes loose, also add to the energy and abstraction of the scene. Full of joy, serenity and color,I hope you enjoy this cool peaceful place as much as I did.

"Purple Shadows" by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

"Purple Shadows" ©2020 Niki Gulley
Willow City Loop - 9" x 12" textured oil painting

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.

Textured Hill Country Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

"Living on the Rocks" ©2020 Niki Gulley
Willow City Loop - 16" x 12" textured oil painting

I painted this piece on location along the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg, TX. I was drawn to the interesting rock formations and the tangle of foliage that was growing above it. The wild oak tree perched on top and the Prickly Pear cactus below it just said Texas to me and I had to paint the scene. Working with palette knife to capture all of the texture in the rocks, I used a softer approach with the greenery to show the contrast between the elements. Finally the morning light cast a magical light on the scene that I wanted to capture before it was too late.

Willow City Loop Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

Willow City Loop ©2020 Niki Gulley
9" x 12" textured oil painting

I painted this piece on location along the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg, TX. It was too early for bluebonnets, so I was searching for a beautiful scene that included some bright colors to break up all of the green in the landscape. These interesting red rocks were calling my name! Combine their interesting hues and shapes along with the dreamy morning light, and I thought this composition would make a perfect painting. A sliver of the road on the left reminds you to slow down and enjoy the journey, too.
