a sparkling symphony of notes whispering through the landscape.

Flames of yellow leaves flicker against autumn’s burning hues

"Traversing Splendor" - New textured oil painting by Niki Gulley

"Traversing Splendor" ©2012 Niki Gulley

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

I wanted you to feel the joy and peacefulness of walking through the forest ablaze with color on a beautiful autumn day. With soft light illuminating the walkway and the distance sparkling in golden light, the only sounds to be heard are the crunching of fallen leaves underfoot and a slight breeze flickering the leaves overhead. What lies ahead? The mysterious glow from beyond beckons you forward.

Road less Traveled

"Road less Traveled" ©2009 Niki Gulley
11" x 14" oil painting

Towards the end of our trip to Colorado, snowfall had come early causing all of the autumn foliage to drift to the ground. I liked the way the bare tree limbs tangled together in the misty distance, set against the vivid fallen leaves in the foreground. What surprises lay in wait for us around the next corner?

Reflective Moment, Dallas Arboretum

"Reflective Moment," Dallas Arboretum ©2009 by Niki Gulley
18" x 24" oil on canvas

Closer to home, this painting was inspired by a gorgeous autumn day at the Dallas Arboretum last year. I was drawn to this magical little spot from the colors of the leaves turning and the beautiful light raking across the pond. This nook was so tranquil and I liked the late afternoon shadows that were being cast, only enhancing the mood.

Transformation

"Transformation" ©2009 by Niki Gulley
oil painting • 48" x 60"

Before I started painting my 12" x 12" canvases of birch trees, I was working on this large piece, Transformation. Rather than create an exact replica of the forest, I wanted to focus on brilliant color and simple shapes to see if I could communicate the excitement I feel when surrounded by nature. Using energetic diagonal strokes and thick, textured paint, I hope you get a sense of the motion in the leaves and the power of nature to invigorate your spirit. I just love how this piece captured that essence!

Harmonious Hues

"Harmonious Hues VI" by Niki Gulley
oil on canvas • 12" x 12"

Here is one of my new seasonal foliage paintings. I love the peeling, knobby bark of the birch trunks, and I feel like I can really recreate that sense of texture by working with thick oil paint and palette knives. I hope you can stop by the Cottonwood Art Festival in Dallas Oct. 3rd & 4th to see them in person, since it's hard to see the dimension on the computer screen. I'd love to hear your feedback.
