"Autumn's Tapestry" ©2025 Niki Gulley

textured oil painting on board • 20" x 20"

In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up into the treetops and heavens above. Choosing uplifting golds and reds contrasted against a turquoise-blue sky with gentle clouds drifting by, I've arranged the aspens in a circular pattern to give you a sense of laying on the ground, surrounded by the forest. Using diagonal leading lines with the tree trunks and limbs, your eye gazes into the focal point where all of the elements come together. Meanwhile, utilizing thick, curving paint strokes adds to that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery.

It's not just about what you see, but what you can feel

Zoom in... there's a story in every layer! 🎨 Using my palette knife technique allows me to create rich textures that bring depth and movement to each piece.

It's not just about what you see, but what you can feel - that's why I love how the raised paint catches light and creates shadows, making the artwork come alive from every angle. ✨

Interesting fact: These textured strokes aren't just visual - they allow my blind father to 'see' my paintings through touch, adding another dimension to how art can be experienced. 💫
