"Fracturing Reality II" Textured Abstract Aspen Painting by Niki Gulley

   

“Fracturing Reality II” ©2024 Niki Gulley
24” x 24” textured acrylic painting on canvas

Abstract realism – the synthesis of abstract and realistic painting. Borrowing abstract influences, such as focusing on color, line, shape and rhythm without a concrete, physical object and combining those concepts with depicting something from reality. When you marry these two genres, you get a new style of art that aims to illicit the emotions behind the subject. 

In "Fracturing Reality II," I hope you feel rejuvenated as you gaze into nature's wonders and escape into your dreams.

New "Texas Twist" Whimsical Live Oak Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

“Texas Twist” ©2024 Niki Gulley
48" x 24" Textured Acrylic on Canvas

I am fascinated by our Texas live oaks. Their gnarly, tangled branches are unlike other trees and tell such a story of their life – twists, turns and all. Standing tall and branching wide, they offer shelter and respite from the hot Texas sun and grow where few other sentinels can survive such drought conditions. Their deep, etched bark gave me the perfect opportunity to play with color and texture. Add in the whimsical swirling sk and you get a modern take on Van Gogh!

New "Whispers in Time" Aspen Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

 

“Whispers in Time” ©2021 Niki Gulley
30” x 30” textured oil painting

Colorado’s celebrated quaking aspen trees stand arrow straight in the valleys and 
up and down the hills. 
Slim white trunks sing out against the forest background and each leaf provides
a sparkling symphony of notes whispering through the mountains.
Flames of yellow leaves flicker against autumn’s burning reds 
and the deep, cool blue mountain streaked with late light.

This painting captures the breathtaking colors of
Colorado in the fall, the Aspens at their most beautiful, and the peaceful rustling murmur and musical sigh of the fluttering leaves.
