New “Rhythmic Memories” Textured Oil Painting by Niki Gulley

April 9, 2018

12″ x 16″ textured oil painting, framed in espresso

Painted on location at the beach, I loved our view of the ocean off this wooden deck. Relaxing in the rocking chairs while enjoying the gentle swaying motion, listening to the surf lap against the shore and the repetive uprights of the rails with the light raking through the openings created a rhythm all around. I hope you, too, can feel your cares drift away when you gaze into this peaceful scene!

New Seascape Palette Knife Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

January 31, 2018

I was asked to create a custom painting for my long time collector’s bedroom that would harmonize with the colors of her room, coordinate with the other four paintings she’d collected from me, and include a water feature. Having just come back from Ireland, I knew exactly what to paint. I was mesmerized by the waves hitting the beach on the Dingle Peninsula. The cathartic sounds of the ocean, the smell of sea water, the craggy rock formations surrounding the cove and the peacefulness of that moment, were what I set out to capture in this special painting.
