New “Melting Blues” Bluebonnet Series by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

“Irises on Parade” Series ©2021 Niki Gulley
12″ x 12″ textured mixed media painting on 1.5″ wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges
 
 

This series or Texas wildflowers, bearded irises and ruby red poppies, incorporates extremely thick paint applied with palette knife along with drips and swirls to add energy and whimsy. This gives the paintings a 3D feel that comes alive and jumps off the canvas, while adding joy and color to your room. If you’d like to see companion pieces in the series, please e-mail me to see my other options.

The way that irises flow lends itself well to my style of painting. Their shapes are so organic, they just seem to spill from the plant like water. Then you throw in some of the most incredible colors and I am a happy camper!If you’re interested in purchasing this painting and seeing a close up of its thick texture, just follow this link https://www.nikigulley.com/iris-on-parade-6/?.

When we planted the garden a couple of years ago we went with re-blooming irises so that we would have flowers throughout the year. I wasn’t quite sure how often they would bloom or how long they would last, but I have been very pleased with what they have been doing this year.If you’re interested in purchasing this painting and seeing a close up of its thick texture, just follow this link https://www.nikigulley.com/iris-on-parade-5/?.

One of my goals when we planted our flower garden, was to give me an opportunity to be able to paint nature without leaving home. With everything that is going on this year, it proved to be the prefect solution for getting outside while still maintaining social distancing. I hope this Iris adds a little joy and color to your day!

My purple irises have such an amazing depth of color this spring. It seems even richer when it is contrasted against the lacy white edges of the bloom. With this blossom, I decided to focus on a birds-eye view above the Iris so that you could see its beauty from a new perspective.If you’re interested in purchasing this painting and seeing a close up of its thick texture, just follow this link https://www.nikigulley.com/iris-on-parade-2/ ?.
