"Field of Dreams" Large Triptych Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

 

  


"Field of Dreams" ©2025 Niki Gulley
Three 48" x 36" canvases to form a 48" x 90" triptych
textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Field of Dreams is inspired from the beautiful sunflower fields we visited in Provence, France. The flowers seemed to stretch forever and the color explosion was out of this world! Back in my studio, I worked from a combination of photos, on-site sketches and memories. Painting the sunflowers full-sized in the foreground helps to bring them to life and hopefully transport you to this happy location. Including surprising pops of vivid reds and purples keeps your eye moving throughout the scene, seeing new things each time you look at it, and adds to the joyful feeling.

To purchase this original painting, check out The Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX or go directly to https://www.goodartcompany.com/product-page/abstract-impressionism-original-art-48x90-flower-field-field-of-dreams.

Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley Paints Water Lilies

   

"Tuscany Oasis" ©2025 Niki Gulley
10" x 20" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

Is this just about the most beautiful setting you could imagine? Castle - check. Cypress trees - check. Water lilies - check. Surrounded by beautiful roes all around - check. Set against a gorgeous blue sky on a warm, sunny day - check. I don't think this one needs any explanation as to why I had to paint it! All I have to say is I hope you, too, are transported to this magical wonderland.

Uplifting Palette Knife Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley


"Sunshine Serenade" ©2025 Niki Gulley
16" x 20" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel 

Started on location in Tuscany, these bright, smiling faces just lifted my spirits and I had to paint them to share their cheer with you! Beyond these joyous sunflowers, the quintessential Tuscan farmhouse has the best view of the surrounding valleys. Misty clouds rise from the horizon as cooler nights meet warmer days and set the stage of the magical light and dreamy allure of Tuscany. The resulting painting is full of warmth, color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

Painting in Tuscany with Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

    


"Flowering Destination" ©2025 Niki Gulley
16" x 20" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

When we pulled into this villa in Italy, I thought I'd walked into a fantasy land! Gorgeous Roman architecture surrounded by the most beautiful rose gardens in every direction. I could just imagine holding the most romantic wedding here, and how happy all of your guests would be. I hope you, too, can escape into these idyllic grounds and absorb the beauty of Tuscany.

New Sculptural Sunflower Paintings Bursting with Joy by Niki Gulley


 Get lost in the ebb and flow of luscious chunky paint as it waltzes around these new creations. I am working with paint so thick, it is literally leaping off the canvas and bringing nature’s beauty to life. At least half an inch thick in some places, these buttery, voluptuous florals are what paint dreams are made of!

Full of energy, color and joy, these sculpted beauties will not only brighten up Valentine’s week but your home for the rest of the year. Check out my videos on Instagram to see how much dimension these really have, https://www.instagram.com/nikigulley/.

"Popping Magic" by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

     

“Popping Magic III" ©2025 Niki Gulley
18" x 24" textured acrylic painting on canvas

I painted "Popping Magic III" this spring not too far from my home. This might have been one of the best years for the poppies and wildflowers. The explosion of color was incredible! This morning started out slightly overcast, and the sun kept peeking in and out of the clouds, creating a soft glow to everything it touched. I wanted to capture that radiant light and joyful energy illuminating your journey as you wander through this magical field of blooming glory. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of springtime with the wildflowers abloom!

"Scenic Byway II" by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

    

"Scenic Byway II" ©2024 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 16" x 20" textured oil painting on canvas

Just sold through the Good Art Company Gallery! Painted just outside of Santa Fe, the fall colors were gorgeous this year. The contrast of complimentary oranges and blues and yellows and purples created an energetic symphony for the eyes! Bright sunshine warmed up the day and caused the light to glow and dance. I hope you can enjoy the escape of a leisurely drive through the beautiful autumn scenery of New Mexico.

Painting in Provence with Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

   


"Heavenly Valley" ©2024 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 24" x 36" textured acrylic painting on canvas 

Just Sold! Right before we started leading our Provence Art Trek, we had a few days to scout the landscape and paint and photograph the beautiful countryside.  This morning I set up my easel to paint this peaceful, pastoral scene filled with poppies, lavender and golden wheat. What a treat! Working from my sketch and photos back in my studio, I created this larger version of this colorful dream-filled landscape. I hope you get lost and can escape gazing into it!
