Just Shipped! This has been a busy year for commissions! Next, I was asked to create two special paintings for some collectors of mine, whom we have become really close to over the years. They have accompanied us on an Art Trek and have graciously invited us to stay with them in Mexico and the United States since that fun-filled trip. So, I was truly honored and flattered that they asked me to paint Cookie’s garden in full bloom during the summer and also frosted with snow in the winter.
Trying to take fairly horizontal compositions and turn them into narrow vertical paintings made for a fun, challenging project! While, making sure the garden was filled with a beautiful dusting of snow so that every branch was iced and including personal details like the angel statue and the Christmas wreath on the red door, I wanted their garden and walkway to welcome you into their lovely home.

I wanted to show Texas’ spring landscape in a completely different way. Making sure not to over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the energy found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting, while rendering the bluebonnets and wildflowers along with their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and showing it in a contemporary way. With an aura of mystery, late day light touches the tops of the grasses and hills with glimmers of hope.

I painted “Spring Forward” while visiting the Texas Hill Country. The explosion of color along roadsides was incredible! This morning the sun kept peeking in and out of the clouds, creating a soft glow to everything it touched. I wanted to capture that magical light illuminating your journey lined by bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of springtime with the wildflowers abloom!

SOLD • 24″ x 36″ textured oil painting by Niki Gulley
Just Shipped! This year my collectors reached out to me to create two special custom pieces for their new home in Colorado. I wish it had been under happier circumstances, though. You see they were one of the unfortunate families devastated by last year’s Colorado wildfires and everything they owned was burned to the ground. My heart broke when they told me their story.
But, I was so honored when they informed me that I was the first artist they contacted to replace their former art collection. And, on top of that I was to go in the place of a William Slaughter painting that they had owned for 40 years! Large shoes to fill, but I was excited to create something uplifting to bring back fond memories for them. Set amongst the rolling landscape of the Texas Hill Country, I wanted them to feel the warmth and beauty on this perfect spring day while out for a leisurely drive among the cheerful bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers.
