3-D Petal Poetry Paintings by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

Get lost in the ebb and flow of luscious chunky paint as it waltzes around these new creations. I am working with paint so thick, it is literally leaping off the canvas and bringing nature’s beauty to life. At least half an inch thick in some places, these buttery, voluptuous florals are what paint dreams are made of!

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.

"Daffodils" Contemporary Impressionistic Floral Pastel by Niki Gulley

    

"Daffodils" ©Niki Gulley

18" x 24” pastel on paper

Daffodils are symbols of spring and in many cultures their blooms kick off the start of many festivals. For me they just seem to make me happy. The petals appear to dance in the breeze with the colors inviting you in for a closer look. Their beauty is fleeting though, so I had to capture them quick before they faded out until next year.
