New "Delightful Anticipation" Large Scale Wildflower Landscape Painting by Niki Gulley

 

"Delightful Anticipation” ©2026 Niki Gulley

60" x 36” textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas

Moving through the fear of starting a new large project – so exciting and yet intimidating! To help me paint more from my soul and less from my head, I first created an abstract "mess" of color. Then, allowing the canvas to guide me to tell its story and where to place my strokes and colors, the fun began. Truly 

exhilarating and just a little scary letting go of all control, like magic the landscape starts to emerge. I relish that freedom just playing and the aha moment where you feel everything coming together. After days, weeks, and even months of building layer upon layer of thick, textured paint, your subconscious vision comes to life.

The canvas dances with color, sings with energy and my heart feels full. That's when I know it is complete and I can't wait to share that with you so you can get lost in the joy of luscious paint and nature's beauty, too! Filled with so many layers and surprising pops of color all over the canvas, you'll never get bored looking into "Delightful Anticipation" as there is always something new to discover. 

If you'd like to see more of the texture and brushwork in this one, check out this video: https://www.instagram.com/p/DUTa4eZiZ6I/.

“Harmonic Refrain" ©2026 Niki Gulley

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

My labor of love these past two months! With the canvas as wide as I am tall, and so many ups and downs my step ladder painting it, this one was quite the workout. But, it was important for me to completely immerse you in the energy found amongst nature. This painting is best seen in person so that you can step into this life-size canvas and feel our' landscape's beauty yourself.

I made sure to not over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the vivacity found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting. Rendering the wildflowers along with their surroundings loosely plays with taking a traditional subject matter and putting a new twist on it.  Surprising pops of color invite your eyes to dance around the canvas, feeling the excitement of the moment. Voluminous and dramatic clouds surround your journey into this uplifting harmonic expression of joy and hope.

“Brushes with Blue" ©2025 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 30" x 48"" textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas

Just sold through the Good Art Company Gallery! I am so ready for spring! I keep dreaming about the bumper crop of bluebonnets the forecasters are predicting this year. But why wait? That is the beauty of being an artist. I can bring us the glee of springtime right now. Painting these Texas wildflowers larger than life, I wanted them to leap off the canvas, bringing joy and energy to your home. I built up so many layers in this one so that there is a richness in depth, a little mystery and various hidden surprises so that every time you gaze at it you see something new. Happy spring!

Nature's Masterpieces amongst the Texas Wildflowers

Nature creates the most beautiful masterpieces.

As an artist, I'm simply here to translate that beauty onto canvas, capturing not just the colors, but the feeling of standing in a field of wildflowers swaying in the breeze.

There's something magical about how each flower adds its own unique voice to nature's symphony. Just like in life, it's our differences that create the most beautiful harmonies. 🌸

What speaks to your soul in nature?
