Hill Country Bluebonnet Commissioned Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

   

SOLD • 24" x 36" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley

Just Shipped! This year my collectors reached out to me to create two special custom pieces for their new home in Colorado. I wish it had been under happier circumstances, though. You see they were one of the unfortunate families devastated by last year's Colorado wildfires and everything they owned was burned to the ground. My heart broke when they told me their story.

But, I was so honored when they informed me that I was the first artist they contacted to replace their former art collection. And, on top of that I was to go in the place of a William Slaughter painting that they had owned for 40 years! Large shoes to fill, but I was excited to create something uplifting to bring back fond memories for them. Set amongst the rolling landscape of the Texas Hill Country, I wanted them to feel the warmth and beauty on this perfect spring day while out for a leisurely drive among the cheerful bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers.

Just Sold through the Good Art Company Gallery! Inspired by a trip to the hill country, I wanted you to feel the warmth and beauty on this perfect spring day while out for a leisurely drive among the bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers.

Inspired by a trip to the Texas hill country, I wanted you feel the warmth and beauty as sun sets over this carpet of bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers.

New Bluebonnet and Indian Paintbrush Painting by Niki Gulley

"Spring's Glory, Texas Hill Country" ©2012 Niki Gulley

48" x 30" textured painting on wrap around canvas

was inspired by a recent trip to the Texas Hill Country. This spring conditions were perfect, and the bluebonnets were amazing! While we were near Fredericksburg, we took a scenic drive along the Willow City Look and as we approached the top of a hill about half way around, we were greeted by this gorgeous view of the rolling hills and bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush in full bloom. Then, to top it off the sun was setting in the distance casting its golden glow and backlighting the wildflowers. I had to capture the magical moment, enhancing the kaleidoscope of colors in the sky and along the ground. Arranging clouds, the road and rows of bluebonnets in rhythmic sweeping shapes, create a harmonious landscape that flows with light, texture and color, and suggest a feeling of optimism about what's to come.

If you're in the Dallas this weekend and would like to see more of my Texas bluebonnet and wildflower paintings, please stop by my booth at Richardson's Cottonwood Art Festival where I will be exhibiting these along with more of my contemporary landscape paintings.

New Indian Paintbrush & Bluebonnet painting by Niki Gulley

"Painted Hills, Texas Hill Country” ©2012 Niki Gulley

20" x 60” textured oil on canvas

Usually in Texas you see an expansive carpet of cobalt when the bluebonnets are in bloom and conditions are just right. But, occasionally you will happen across a rarer field of Indian Paintbrush, and that unexpected sea of red is such a delight for your senses! I wanted to capture that excited feeling and the kaleidoscope of colors in "Painted Hills" while driving through the Texas hill country in sprintime. Created with extremely thick paint and palette knives, in person this hilly landscape is filled with texture and vibrant wildflowers that dance in the open terrain.

Niki will be exhibiting her textured oil paintings at the Deep Ellum Arts Festival in Dallas this weekend. Please stop by her booth and check out her recent creations.

Textured Bluebonnet Painting by Niki Gulley, "Blue Horizon"

"Blue Horizon" ©2012 Niki Gulley
SOLD  30" x 48" textured oil on canvas

SOLD - I love the rolling hills of the Texas hill country and when the bluebonnets are prolific, it feels like a carpet of blue stretches for miles. I painted this bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush scene with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve extreme texture.  The resulting image comes to life and is loaded with color and energy. I've painted the scene around the edges of the canvas on 1 and 1/2" deep stretcher bars so that the paintings can be hung without a frame for a unique sculptural effect.
