New Contemporary Impressionistic Ocean Painting by Niki Gulley

   

I love everything about going to the beach. I love gazing into the endless horizon while listening to the rhythmic sounds of waves crashing against the shore. I love feeling the warmth of the sun against my skin while the cool sand squishes between my toes. And, I love how all of my cares disappear and I feel completely at peace engulfed in the moment.

So, getting to paint along the shoreline is almost as close as it gets to perfection! I hope you, too, can feel the joy and serenity of gazing at the ocean in this piece.

Palette Knife Abstract Seascape Painting by Artist Niki Gulley

  

We’re taking a break from fall foliage to soak up some warmth and sunshine along North Carolina’s Outer Banks coast. Listen to those rhythmic ocean waves! Talk about relaxing and just what the doctor ordered. Letting the sounds guide me and going with the flow of the moment, I left this one loose with abstract passages. I hope you can feel the joy and energy in this painting, and escape with me.

Cathartic Seascape by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

  

Today we hit the beach and relaxed all day! With my feet in the sand, and my painting balanced on my lap, I had to capture the gorgeous ocean view. Photos never seem to do justice to the sound and movement of the ocean waves, so I wanted to capture that feeling better in paint. Of course, that is quite a challenge since the water is always moving! So, I would time my strokes in-between waves so that I could watch and memorize their shape and energy. I hope you can feel the rhythmic catharsis of these tides lapping against the shore and leave all of your cares behind.

Serenity Now! Escape with Artist Niki Gulley to the Outer Banks

 

After nine days of grey, cold and sometimes rainy weather, I really needed to warm up and soak up some Vitamin D sunshine. So, we took a detour from fall foliage and headed to North Carolina’s Outer Banks. We found an amazing campsite right on the water, and this was our view out our window for the next 2 days! While a little windy our first night, the next morning I woke to beautiful, calm blue waters and I just had to paint that serene view. Those 2 hammocks were calling my name to just relax. I hope you can escape with me into this peaceful, cathartic seascape.

New “Cadillac Mountain” Painting from Acadia National Park by Niki Gulley

Today we arrived in Acadia National Park in Maine and since no RV’s are allowed at the summit, we rode our scooter to the top of Cadillac Mountain. It was gorgeous! But there is not much room for art supplies in our little scooter’s storage compartment, so I packed my 5″ x 7″ paint gear and sat down on a fairly comfy boulder to paint this scenic view. With the first hints of fall in the ground cover adding a fun pop of red, I set out to capture this beautiful view of the rocks, pine trees, jagged hills and ocean.

New “Old Orchard Beach” Painting in Maine by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

 

What a fabulous day! Sun is shining. Waves are crashing. Seagulls are screaming. And, I’ve got my toes in the sand. We’ve landed on Old Orchard Beach in Maine just soaking up the beautiful scenery. Hope you can feel the beautiful ocean breezes and hear the cathartic sound of the tide, too!

12″ x 12″ textured acrylic painting on canvas panel
 
 I wanted this painting to be about the power of the ocean to lift your spirits. Painting this piece on location, I was hoping you could feel the ocean tides lapping on the shore and hear the rhythmic, soothing sounds of the waves cresting and falling like I was experiencing while painting it. Whenever I visit the beach I always feel rejuvenated, and I hope I’ve translated that onto the canvas for you to experience it, too.

 I am so longing for a refreshing dip in the ocean! How about you?

 

I wanted this painting to be about the power of the ocean to lift your spirits. Painting this piece on location, I strove to capture the sparkle the sun cast across the turquoise waters as it slowly rose above the horizon. Creating bobbing diamonds of sparkling light across the surface was truly mesmerizing to watch.

New Ocean Sunset Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

9″ x 12″ textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

Painting this piece on location, I wanted to capture the movement in the ocean as the tides lapped along the shoreline. With the waves creating their cathartic rhythmic sounds, I left my strokes loose to convey that energy and motion. There was a beautiful sunset tonight that caused the sky and water’s surface to dance in these ethereal shades of pink and gold. I hope you, too, can feel the peaceful magic in the moment.
