SOLD • 10" x 20" textured mixed media painting on canvas

Just sold! On our drive through Ennis this spring, the bluebonnets were so full and thick along Sugar Bush ridge. So, I set up my easel to capture this beautiful, peaceful view. I loved how the undulating hills, tree lines in the distance and wildflowers in the foreground all repeated similar shapes and wave-like patterns adding to the feeling of symmetry and serenity. I hope you, too, can feel the joy and glory of springtime in Texas!

16" x 20" textured oil painting 

On this morning in Stowe, VT, we ventured up to the majestic overlook by the Von Trapp property to capture the spectacular scenery. I loved how this cabin was perfectly tucked into the mountainside surrounded by vibrant fall foliage. The slightly overcast day made the colors pop even more! I hope you, too, can enjoy the crisp autumn air and a peaceful escape from the bustle of city life.

Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley Paints Asheville's Darnell Farms

  

“Rural Setting” ©2024 Niki Gulley

12" x 9” textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

Painted on location, I loved this old weathered barn. But, being a huge fan of the impressionists and their use of color, I was struggling with how to paint the scene with so much green grass surrounding the pastures. As I kept strolling around the farm, I came across these beautiful fuschia flowers and knew this is exactly what I was looking for to bring joy and color to my painting. May this peaceful, nostalgic setting lift your spirtis, too!

May you escape with me into nature’s beauty!

SOLD • 36" x 36" textured mixed media on 1.5" gallery wrap canvas with the painting continuing around the edges

Just sold! With such depressing news these days, I felt compelled to paint something that would make us feel much better. And, it worked on me, so I hope it does the same for you. I felt so much happier after painting this larger than life bluebonnet and Indian Paintbrush scene. Working with palette knife and a lot of texture, reveling in the process of flinging and pouring paint to create a joyful, kinetic kaleidoscope, and playing with a cheerful palette of reds, yellows and blues, I feel like this one really lifts one’s spirits and has a touch of whimsy to it.

Contemporary Floral Triptych Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

  

 "Chromatic Transitons" ©2024 Niki Gulley

Three 36” x  18” mixed media paintings on canvas to form a 36" x 54" triptych

Spreading their joy across the landscape, I wanted to capture the rhythm, color, and density of beautiful, uplifting wildflowers in bloom. Starting with the first signs of spring when prolific bluebonnets carpet the hills, moving into May as vibrant poppies cast their merriment and energy, and finally transitioning into mid-summer when the amazing aromas of lavender fill the air. Dreamy light illuminates the sky and dances across the blanketed fields to bring nature's glory, hope and serenity to your home.
