Autumn Aspen Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

 

 

“Painted Forest” ©2023 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.

“Knot in the Woods II” ©2023 Niki Gulley

20″ x 30″ textured mixed media painting

Scrolling bark peels back like white washed parchment revealing secrets in the deeply textured wood below. A painting of grace and beauty, its verticality is offset by diagonal glowing autumn colors. Each stroke defined by thick textured paint and rich colors contrasted against subtle ivories, strike a reverberating chord and create a visual vibration that resonates in an optical song.

“A Knot in the Woods” Abstract Aspen Painting by Niki Gulley

  

              

“Knot in the Woods” ©2023 Niki Gulley
30″ x 30″ textured mixed media painting 
on 1.5″ wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges
 
Bordering on the edge of abstraction and the cusp of realism, Knot in the Woods is loaded with layers of paint, built up with thin glazes and then palette knife to create extreme dimension. Choosing to come in tight on the subject, I played around with various strokes and paint thicknesses to add depth and dimension. Splashes of gold and pops of fire-engine red add excitement and energy to the expansive aspen forest.

Follow the deep wood’s path and wander under a canopy of sheltering leaves, light shifts through each branch and twig.
