New Impressionistic Bluebonnet Painting

April 13, 2012
“Azure Glory” ©2012 Niki Gulley
24″ x 12″ textured oil painting
A gorgeous spring day in Texas, with the bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush and Texas wildflowers in full bloom, and just a few white fluffy clouds in the sky. This Texas hill country scene is painted with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives so that in person, the canvas is loaded with texture, color and movement to create a contemporary impressionistic twist on the traditional Texas wildflower painting!

Table for Two pastel at Bayou City Art Festival

October 6, 2010


“Table for Two” by Niki Gulley
Pastel • 24” x 36”

My husband and I honeymooned in Greece and fell in love with the island of Santorini. It has to be one of the most romantic spots we’ve ever seen. The views from the top of the caldera were absolutely stunning with the blue Aegean below, and the white-washed stacked architecture is truly unique. We easily segued into the the relaxed laissez faire Greek pace after a day or two and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the moment, dining seaside on delicious Mediterranean food and watching the sun set on the distant horizon.

If you’d like to join us next May on our Painting / Photography workshop in Greece, visit nikigulley.com/?page_id=13 for more information. Or, closer to home I also teach in Dallas, with the next set of classes starting in January 2011. If you’d like more details, e-mail me at [email protected].

If you’re in Houston, TX this weekend, please stop by the Bayou City Art Festival to and my pastels in person. I’ll be displaying my work at booth #480 – on Walker St. between Bagby & Smith Streets facing City Hall. See BayouCityArtFestival.com for more information.
