Bluebonnet Painting from the Texas Hill Country by Niki Gulley

 

"Spring's Brushstrokes II," Texas Hill Country ©2023 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 20" x 10" textured acrylic painting on canvas

Just sold through the Good Art Company Gallery! I painted these Texas bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush on location with extremely thick paint and palette knives to achieve depth and texture. It turns out the barn was built by the homeowner, and I was so taken with its beautiful craftsmanship. I chose a vertical composition so that the wildflowers in the foreground would draw your eye straight to its character and status. Leaving out extraneous background details also reinforces that feeling.

Autumn Aspen Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

  

"Painted Forest" ©2024 Niki Gulley

18" x 24" textured mixed media painting 

on 1.5" wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges

I loved this brilliant aspen forest with its bright white aspen trunks slicing through all of the vibrant red and yellow foliage. The patterns of the trees created a sort of rhythm and I focused on the placement of the ivory sentinels, the diagonal purple shadows that they cast and the rustling of the leaves to add to that musical feeling. I hope you, too, can sense the energy and joy of being surrounded by nature as autumn is in full swing.

Textured Bluebonnet Painting by Dallas Artist Niki Gulley

  

“Harvesting Color” ©2024 Niki Gulley

24" x 12" Textured Acrylic on Canvas

Recently we drove all over the Texas Hill Country, taking in the beauty of this year’s gorgeous wildflower crop! I’ve always loved this old stone farmhouse in Marble Falls, so today we just had to stop so I could paint it and the flower fantasy surrounding it. Besides a prolific year for bluebonnets, the white poppies were denser than I’d ever seen. Painting them large in the foreground, allows you to take in their individual beauty. Arranging the rows of wildflowers veritcally are designed to lift your spirits and guide you to your retreat in the distance. May you enjoy your escape to the beautiful hill country!

"Growing Sunshine" by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

   

"Growing Sunshine" ©2024 Niki Gulley

24" x 12" textured mixed media painting on canvas

These cheerful sunflowers, vibrant ruby red Cannas and delicate Russian Sage were planted in my backyard and they were so bright and colorful, I just had to paint them! So this week, I dragged my body out of bed at 5 a.m. to capture them at sunrise before our Texas heat reached 100 degrees. While not normally an early riser, it was well worth it to bask in their glory while I was painting. I hope you, too, can enjoy their sunshine and start your day with a smile.
