Contemporary Impressionistic Ocean Painting by Niki Gulley

    

SOLD • 5" x 7" textured acrylic painting on panel

I love everything about going to the beach. I love gazing into the endless horizon while listening to the rhythmic sounds of waves crashing against the shore. I love feeling the warmth of the sun against my skin while the cool sand squishes between my toes. And, I love how all of my cares disappear and I feel completely at peace engulfed in the moment.

So, getting to paint along the shoreline is almost as close as it gets to perfection! I hope you, too, can feel the joy and serenity of gazing at the ocean in this piece.

Serenity Now! Escape with Artist Niki Gulley to the Outer Banks

  

"Serenity Now" ©2025 Niki Gulley

12" x 24" textured acrylic painting on canvas

After nine days of grey, cold and sometimes rainy weather, I really needed to warm up and soak up some Vitamin D sunshine. So, we took a detour from fall foliage and headed to North Carolina's Outer Banks. We found an amazing campsite right on the water, and this was our view out our window for the next 2 days! While a little windy our first night, the next morning I woke to beautiful, calm blue waters and I just had to paint that serene view. Those 2 hammocks were calling my name to just relax. I hope you can escape with me into this peaceful, cathartic seascape.

"Ocean Breeze" ©2025 Niki Gulley

24" x 24" textured acrylic painting on canvas

We’re taking a break from fall foliage to soak up some warmth and sunshine along North Carolina’s Outer Banks coast. Listen to those rhythmic ocean waves! Talk about relaxing and just what the doctor ordered. Letting the sounds guide me and going with the flow of the moment, I left this one loose with abstract passages. I hope you can feel the joy and energy in this painting, and escape with me.

Cathartic Seascape by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

  

Today we hit the beach and relaxed all day! With my feet in the sand, and my painting balanced on my lap, I had to capture the gorgeous ocean view. Photos never seem to do justice to the sound and movement of the ocean waves, so I wanted to capture that feeling better in paint. Of course, that is quite a challenge since the water is always moving! So, I would time my strokes in-between waves so that I could watch and memorize their shape and energy. I hope you can feel the rhythmic catharsis of these tides lapping against the shore and leave all of your cares behind.

New "Come Fly with Me" Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

"Come Fly with Me" ©2018 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 12" x 16" textured oil painting

Just Sold! Painted on location, I wanted this piece to be very inviting and relaxing.  The tide laps against the shore so that you can hear the rhythmic, soothing music of the waves cresting and falling. Sunlight rakes across the wooden porch while you gently rock, enjoying the sounds and the view. Whenever I visit the seashore I always feel rejuvenated, and I hope I’ve translated that onto the canvas for you to experience it, too.

"Rejuvenation" oil painting by Niki Gulley

"Rejuvenation" ©2010 Niki Gulley

36" x 60" oil on canvas

I wanted this painting to be more about the power of water to uplift your spirits than to be a painting of just another pretty ocean sunset. I was hoping you could feel the ocean tides lapping on the shore and hear the rhythmic, soothing sounds of the waves cresting and falling. Whenever I visit the seashore I always feel rejuvenated, and I hope I've translated that onto the canvas for you to experience it, too.

I'll be showing this painting and several others at the Bonita Springs National Art Festival in Florida this weekend. If you're fortunate enough to be in the Naples / Bonita Springs area, come on by and say hi, artinusa.com/bonita/.

Turquoise Waters Oil Painting by Niki Gulley

5" x 7" oil painting by Niki Gulley

This painting is inspired from our trip to the gorgeous beaches in Thailand. The water was such a clear turquoise and the rock formations, known as karst, were fascinating rising out of the ocean.
