“Scenic Byway II” ©2023 Niki Gulley

16″ x 20″ textured oil painting on canvas

Painted just outside of Santa Fe, the fall colors were gorgeous this year. The contrast of complimentary oranges and blues and yellows and purples created an energetic symphony for the eyes! Bright sunshine warmed up the day and caused the light to glow and dance. I hope you can enjoy the escape of a leisurely drive through the beautiful autumn scenery of New Mexico.

To purchase “Scenic Byway II,” please visit the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX at goodartcompany.com/niki-gulley .

And, if you’d like to see this painting and meet me in person, please stop by the gallery’s 15 year anniversary celebration on Feb. 3rd!

Contemporary Floral Triptych Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

 

 “Chromatic Transitons” ©2023 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.

Please visit the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX at goodartcompany.com/niki-gulley for more details on this “Chromatic Transitions” triptych filled with joy, color and texture!

And, you won’t want to miss their 15 year anniversary celebration on Feb. 3rd!

New Sunflower Painting Bursting with Joy by Impressionist Niki Gulley

 

“Happy Expressions IV” ©2024 Niki Gulley

I wanted this piece to be uplifting and full of color and energy, just like how I feel to be surrounded by a joyful field of sunflowers! Perky, circular faces smile at you as their golden petals dance across the canvas. Painting these blooms full-sized helps to bring them to life and hopefully transport you to this happy location. Including surprising pops of vivid reds, purples and turquoises keep your eye moving throughout the scene, seeing new things each time you look at it, and adds to the jubilant feeling.

Happy Expressions IV will be on display at:

Colorful Winter Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

 

“Morning Flow” ©Niki Gulley
9″ x 12″ textured oil painting  
 

My husband and I recently visited Iceland to gather new inspiration on film and canvas. Going in March so that we could see the northern lights, we were often greeted by snowfall and an occasional blizzard! Today was one of the days where it was too windy to paint or photograph outside so we aimed the car towards this gorgeous vista and I painted from protection of the passenger seat. I loved the play of colors with the blue of the river and sky contrasted against the golden grasses and mountains. The red branches on the winter shrubbery were particularly beautiful and I wanted to feature them in the foreground next to the focal point, meanwhile a light dusting of snow still frosts the ground and adds to the dreamlike landscape.
