Copper Tree commissioned oil painting

March 14, 2012

SOLD • 48″ x 36″ textured oil on canvas

Just shipped last week! This commission was for a couple of my collectors who had seen this gorgeous copper tree on a trip to Alaska. The bark actually sparkled in the sunlight like a copper penny, and they asked me to recreate that shimmer in my sculptural oil technique from a child’s like perspective of looking up into the treetops. The final painting is full of texture, color and whimsy, and looks great in the pictures they shared with me of it hung in their beautiful Colorado home.

Poppy Diptych

Two 24” x 24” textured oil paintings on canvas to form a 24” x 48” diptych

I love it when we are driving leisurely through the countryside and we come across a gorgeous field of wildflowers. The sudden burst of color thrills your senses! Playing with color and texture, I feel like this poppy painting radiates with energy and captures the joy you feel on one of the first beautiful days of spring. With this series, you can purchase either the left or the right painting to hang alone or display both side by side to form a panorama diptych.

The March edition of American Art Collector magazine mentioned myself and Dallas artist Barbara Mason in their floral section. Picture in the article is “Bursting with Color.”

New Sunflower oil painting

March 7, 2011

30″ x 48″ oil painting

In Sunny Side Up, I wanted to paint something bright and happy that would always cause you to smile when you looked at it, and sunflowers are the perfect flower to do just that. Purposely choosing bright complimentary colors and using extremely thick oil paint, I feel the painting really leaps off the canvas and creates the feeling of joy I intended.

If you’d like to see this sunflower painting in person, visit my booth at “Artscape” held at the Dallas Arboretum next weekend (March 18-20.) See dallasarboretum.org/artscape/index.htm for more details.

Or, e-mail me at Niki Gulley if you would like more information or to purchase this painting.

One of my favorite places in Dallas in the springtime is the Arboretum during their Dallas Blooms. I love the masses of colors that the tulips, azaleas and narcissus form, not to mention that the gardens signal that winter is over and spring is really here! This weekend I’ll be exhibiting at Artscape at the Dallas Arboretum, which falls in the middle of peak time during Dallas Blooms. Going on its 5th year, Artscape showcases 100 talented artists from around the country so stop on by for a beautiful weekend of art and flowers!
