Textured Purple Clematis Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

 

"Clematis" ©2023 Niki Gulley

10" x 12" Textured Oil on Panel

I liked the contrast of the cool purple in the flowers against the warm light of the textured wall behind them. Accentuating the circular design they were forming along with creating curving paint strokes, adds to a feeling of movement and energy, almost as if the petals are dancing in the breeze.

Visiting Vineyards and Wine Tasting with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

 

"Awaiting Harvest" ©2023 Niki Gulley

16" x 20" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel 

In the above painting you can see an example of the vineyards dotting the hills of this Tuscan region. With the weather turning colder, you can see the first signs of fall as these colorful grapevines turn beautiful oranges and golds. I was attracted to the vibrant vines contrasted against the progressive miles of rolling hills dotted with more grapevines, olive trees, and plowed grain fields. The gorgeous, plump purple grapes were ready to harvest at any moment. Setting up my easel across from this vineyard, I began recreating the soft light that would break through the clouds and illuminate various hilltops and plantings. I arranged the vines to lead your eye back to the hill town and the beautiful countryside. I hope you can taste the delicious wine and escape to Tuscany with me!

Uplifting Palette Knife Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

 

"Sunshine Serenade" ©2023 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.

Abstract Poppy Field Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

“Nature's Brushstrokes II" ©2022 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 24" x 24" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Just Sold! In this painting, I wanted to render vibrant poppies and wildflowers very abstractly. Focusing on the patterns of color that those vivid reds and cobalt blues form, allows you to feel the excitement of peering into a huge field of blooming glory. Mysterious light tries to break through the distant foliage and  begin to illuminate the blossoms, beckoning you to explore what's beyond.

New "Sunshine Serenade II" Palette Knife Tuscany Painting by Niki Gulley

"Sunshine Serenade II" ©2023 Niki Gulley

10" x 20" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

I absolutely love Tuscany and find inspiration everywhere I look. This afternoon I set up my easel alongside the road, drawn to this long cypress driveway with these cheerful sunflowers framing the scene. As luck would have it, mother nature provided a symphony of colors across the sky as the sun started setting and I worked quickly to establish the beautiful, golden light that was cast across the rolling hills and sunny blooms. I hope you, too, can enjoy the joy and glory that is Tuscany!
