 16" x 16" Textured Acrylic on Canvas 

I am in love with my backyard wildflowers! Each bloom has so many colors and every blossom is slightly different. From pink to red to peach to yellow, they are so beautiful to watch. Today I had to go out in my backyard, set up my easel and capture their joy from life. I hope they lift your spirits, too!

"Rosy Surprise II" ©2026 Niki Gulley

24" x 24" Textured Acrylic on Canvas

What a beautiful surprise to have these roses blooming in my garden this winter! Of course the next night it was supposed to freeze and I couldn't let these beauties go to waste. After cutting and assembling them in a vase, I just kept staring at them as they were bringing so much color and joy to the grey day. Despite several projects on my plate, I had to take a break and capture these rosy fleeting blooms. May they bring some vibrancy to your winter days, too.

Painting the Vibrant Colors of San Miguel by Niki Gulley

"Afternoon in the Park" ©2026 Niki Gulley

12" x 16" textured oil painting

Recently collectors of mine invited us to stay with them at their beautiful home in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. I loved all of the gorgeous colors of the architecture and lush foliage blooming everywhere. Around almost every corner was a peaceful park inviting you to stroll through or just sit and enjoy the tranquility of the moment.

Abstracted Iris Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

"Joyful Interlude" ©2025 Niki Gulley

30" x 30" Textured Acrylic on Canvas 

My irises last year were so beautiful and prolific. Whenever I gazed at them, I experienced so much joy, that I felt compelled to capture that feeling on canvas. My goal was to create pieces that are full of energy, texture and light. Painting the flowers larger than life and adding layers and layers of paint to build up texture, the cheerful blooms come to life and dance across the canvas.

New Commissioned Rose Painting by Impressionist Niki Gulley

©2025 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 16" x 16" Textured Mixed Media on Canvas

Just shipped!  I was so pleased when my collector reached out to me and asked me to create a special   painting for her to coordinate and hang together with a previous painting that she was enjoying from me. I had just the reference in mind, too!  These roes from my backyard were bringing so much color and joy to our spring, that I knew they would do the same for this homeowner. And, that was the best feeling when she let me know how much she loved this painting and how perfectly it complimented her collection.

"Gardening Joy" Rose Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

        

"Gardening Joy" ©2024 Niki Gulley

20" x 10" Textured Mixed Media on Canvas

As my garden kept evolving this spring, I was treated every day to a new blossoming surprise! Today I was greeted by the most gorgeous roses I've seen since I planted them 7 years ago. So, of course I had to go out and capture those beauties before they disappeared. 

 Wanting to create pieces that are full of joy, energy, texture and light, I painted the blooms large to add to that feeling of hope and exuberance. Choosing to leave the background airy and working with thick layers of white on white paint, multi-colored roses dance along the canvas with spontaneity and freedom. I hope these paintings bring the beauty of nature inside and fill your spirit with light and cheer.

Palette Knife Purple Iris Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

        

"Gardening Joy II" ©2024 Niki Gulley

20" x 10" Textured Mixed Media on Canvas

My irises this year were incredibly beautiful and prolific. They brought so much joy to my day, that I felt compelled to capture that on canvas. Painting the flowers life-size and adding layers and layers of paint to build up dimension, these cheerful blooms come to life and are loaded with spring energy. To add to that sense of brightness, I painted them against a highly textured white background and arranged them vertically to also add to that uplifting mood.
