New “Symphonic Expressions” Large Abstract Texas Painting by Niki Gulley

 

“Symphonic Expressions” ©2024 Niki Gulley
48″ x 60″ textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas
 
 

My labor of love this past month! With the canvas as wide as I am tall, and so many ups and downs my step ladder painting it, this one was quite the workout. But, it was important for me to completely immerse you in the energy found amongst nature. This painting is best seen in person so that you can step into this life-size canvas and feel our Texas’ landscape’s beauty yourself.

I made sure to not over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the vivacity found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting. Rendering the bluebonnets and wildflowers along with their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and putting a new twist on it. Voluminous and dramatic clouds surround your journey into this uplifting symphonic expression of peace and hope.

34″ x 34″ textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas
 
 
On our drive through the Hill Country last spring, I was drawn to this lone grouping of live oaks rising above the horizon.  Waves of Texas bluebonnets lead your eye into the distance towards that late light illuminating the wildflower filled hill and foliage. Adding pops of color in between the blooms invites your eyes to dance across the canvas and from foreground to background, feeling the excitement of the moment. Welcome to the joy and energy of springtime in Texas!

I painted “Spring Forward” while visiting the Texas Hill Country. The explosion of color along roadsides was incredible!

Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley Paints Cathartic Seascapes

   

 
 “Rolling Tide II” ©2023 Niki Gulley 
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 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.

 I absolutely love it when I come across a whole field of wildflowers – there is something about the transformation of a single dainty flower into a dense explosion of color that inspires awe and delights your senses. I liked how these rows of poppies and rolling grasses created a gentle harmony, inviting you to wander into the distance, getting lost in the moment. Full of color and hope, may my “Symphony in Springtime” transport you to a happy serene place.

“Rural Blues” Bluebonnet Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

      

“Rural Blues” ©2023 Niki Gulley
10″ x 20″ textured mixed media painting on canvas
 
 
On our drive through Ennis this spring, the bluebonnets were so full and thick along Sugar Bush ridge. So, I set up my easel to capture this beautiful, peaceful view. I loved how the undulating hills, tree lines in the distance and wildflowers in the foreground all repeated similar shapes and wave-like patterns adding to the feeling of symmetry and serenity. I hope you, too, can feel the joy and glory of springtime in Texas!
