Recently we drove all over the Texas Hill Country, taking in the beauty of this year’s gorgeous wildflower crop! I’ve always loved this old stone farmhouse in Marble Falls, so today we just had to stop so I?could paint it and the flower fantasy surrounding it. Besides a prolific year for bluebonnets, the white poppies were denser than I’d ever seen. Painting them large in the foreground, allows you to take in their individual beauty. Arranging the rows of wildflowers veritcally are designed to lift your spirits and guide you to your retreat in the distance. May you enjoy your escape to the beautiful hill country!

Texas Artist Niki Gulley Paints “Living History”

I am fascinated by our Texas live oaks. Their gnarly, tangled branches are unlike other trees and tell such a story of their life – twists, turns and all. Standing tall and branching wide, they offer shelter and respite from the hot Texas sun and grow where few other sentinels can survive such drought conditions. Their deep, etched bark gave me the perfect opportunity to play with color and texture – a modern take on Van Gogh!

The Texas wildflowers were gorgeous and thick this year. The conditions were perfect for a super bloom explosion of color! Leaving the bluebonnets large and prominent in the foreground, rows and rows of these blue beauties lift your spirits and lead you back to the shelter of the grand old oaks. Planted together, their branches were even entangled into a heart shape, and I had to capture their steadfastness. Including bright pops of color all around the compostion all adds to the joy and energy of the moment.
