Color hunting in nature’s gallery ? These are the hues that make my heart sing when I look up through the autumn trees: 

 ? Autumn Flame Red – like the first blush of fall 
? Aspen Gold – capturing the sun’s dance through leaves 
? Sky Azure – peeking through the canopy 

? Birch White – nature’s perfect highlight

Every palette tells a story – this one speaks of looking up through the trees on a perfect autumn day. Which color captures your attention first? ?

Contemporary Floral Triptych Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

February 19, 2025

   

 “Chromatic Transitons” ©2024 Niki Gulley

SOLD • Three 36” x  18” mixed media paintings on canvas to form a 36″ x 54″ triptych

Just sold through the Good Art Company! Spreading their joy across the landscape, I wanted to capture the rhythm, color, and density of beautiful, uplifting wildflowers in bloom. Starting with the first signs of spring when prolific bluebonnets carpet the hills, moving into May as vibrant poppies cast their merriment and energy, and finally transitioning into mid-summer when the amazing aromas of lavender fill the air. Dreamy light illuminates the sky and dances across the blanketed fields to bring nature’s glory, hope and serenity to your home.

Please visit the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX to see more of my Texas Wildflower paintings. Tomorrow night they are hosting their 16th anniversary celebration from 5-7 pm. Check it out – https://www.instagram.com/p/DC47G27yw7r/.

3-D Petal Poetry Paintings by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

February 14, 2025


Get lost in the ebb and flow of luscious chunky paint as it waltzes around these new creations. I am working with paint so thick, it is literally leaping off the canvas and bringing nature’s beauty to life. At least half an inch thick in some places, these buttery, voluptuous florals are what paint dreams are made of!

New Sculptural Rose Paintings in Time for Valentine’s Day by Niki Gulley

February 13, 2025

There is just something inherently beautiful about a rose. The bards write poems about it and musicians compose ballads about them. They signify love and happiness and their aroma always seem to make us smile. Think of how much better the world is when roses are a part of your day.

It’s not just about what you see, but what you can feel

February 7, 2025

 

Zoom in… there’s a story in every layer! ? Using my palette knife technique allows me to create rich textures that bring depth and movement to each piece.

It’s not just about what you see, but what you can feel – that’s why I love how the raised paint catches light and creates shadows, making the artwork come alive from every angle. ?

Interesting fact: These textured strokes aren’t just visual – they allow my blind father to ‘see’ my paintings through touch, adding another dimension to how art can be experienced. ?
