New Geraniums Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

August 21, 2020

 

“Potted Geraniums,” Sevilla ©2020 Niki Gulley
7″ x 5” textured oil painting on panel
 

This was a great opportunity to play with shapes and color. The geraniums were in full bloom with their red flowers creating a stark contrast with the terra cotta pots and white background. You also get the elevation change as they climb the stairs with the railing pulling you upward.

12″ x 9” textured oil painting on panel
 

Our hotel in Sevilla, Spain had a rooftop terrace that overlooked the city and I couldn’t resist spending some time there to paint. I also had a waiter that would bring me snacks and drinks. That is the way to paint!

“Curving Symmetry” from Sevilla, Spain by Niki Gulley

August 19, 2020

9″ x 12” textured oil painting on panel
 

On the last day of our Spain Art Trek, we visited Plaza de España, a Moorish paradisiacal gathering place with a half mile of tiled fountains, pavilions, ponds and lush plantings. Some of my painters captured the river and bridges flowing through the center of the park, while I focused more on the unusual architectural elements.

I found this magical spot while wandering the gardens at the Alcazar in Sevilla, Spain. It was a beautiful scene and a great way to beat the heat and enjoy some time in the shade listening to the water fountain flow.

“Lucky’s Cafe” by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

October 30, 2017



“Lucky’s Cafe,” Dallas, Texas © 2017 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 11″ x 14″ oil painting
Just Sold! Friends sit and gaze at the mass of beauty and indecision that is the menu. The fear of missing out on any number of delectable dishes makes it nearly impossible to chose. Their eyes waver between the menu in their hands and the massive chalk board that dominates the far wall. Mom’s meatloaf? Good Luck Reuben? And who could pass up the Sleaziest, Cheesiest, Grilled Cheese in Town? But, then, it is found: Chicken Fried Steak, a delicious staple of home-style comfort food.
 
Every once and a while, it’s nice to share a little home-town spirit. Coming from Dallas, I thought it would be nice to capture a local favorite, Lucky’s Cafe, on Oaklawn Ave. Even outside, you can feel the energy that emanates from within and cuts through the heavy blanket of night.

Blind Light, Dallas West End – pastel – 12″ x 18″
© Niki GulleyAnother one of my adventures to the Dallas West End brought me to  this scene.  The light patterns and the lone guy walking away drew me in.  I really like the way the colors fade in the distance.  The leading lines put you right on the street.

“Shift Change” Dallas Landry’s Seafood, pastel by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

September 15, 2014

Lights glitter from their hiding places, nestled among the branches, mimicking the gleam of the stars high overhead. The wait staff gather outside, savoring the cool air, their work for the day done. Having left the fast paced world inside of Landry’s, they take a moment, and a breath, unwinding with a chat.

The pastels in this piece help the light bleed into the dark, capturing well the inviting warmth of Landry’s Seafood. In this scene we get to a changing of the guard, one no less important than any other. The lines guide you in, much like the pedestrians wandering into the scene.

Impressions III, White Rock Lake

Impressions II, White Rock Lake – 5″ x 7″ pastel

Today I revisited the same location at White Rock Lake as last week, but I wanted to paint it completely different this time. I love vibrant color and playing with contrasts in my subject, so today I really had fun. Hope you do, too!
