New “Popping Color II” Palette Knife Poppy Painting by Niki Gulley

October 19, 2016

24″ x 12″ textured oil painting

I wanted this piece to be uplifting and full of color and energy. Set beneath a colorful sky on a beautiful day in springtime with the poppies and wildflowers in full bloom, I hope all of your cares drift away while gazing into this cheerful scene.

In this vertical wildflower series, I’ve framed the paintings in espresso floater frames so that you can still see the textured oil paint continuing around the edges of the canvas. These poppies look great hung alone or in a grouping, too!

Remember the days of running through piles of raked leaves, hearing the sounds of soft crunching underfoot as leaves go flying all around?

I painted Momentum to bring back those memories of a carefree time and place, when life was simple and playing with friends and siblings was the highlight of your day.
