New Abstract Poppy Field Painting by Niki Gulley

March 2, 2022

30” x 40″ textured mixed media painting

on 1.5″ wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges

I absolutely love it when I come across a whole field of wildflowers – there is something about the transformation of a single dainty flower into a dense explosion of color that inspires awe and delights your senses. I liked how these rows of poppies and earth beneath them created a gentle harmony, inviting you to wander into the distance, getting lost in the moment. Full of color and hope, may “Flowering Currents” transport you to a happy serene place.

New “Tuscan Dreams” Palette Knife Poppy Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

January 29, 2016

24″ x 24″ textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Inspired from a wonderful trip to Tuscany, I wanted this piece to be uplifting and full of joy and energy. Set beneath a colorful sky with a few clouds drifting by on a beautiful day in springtime, the poppies and wildflowers are in full bloom. Using broken impressionistic strokes in surprising hues, causes the landscape to dance and flow, and I hope all of your cares drift away while gazing into this cheerful scene.

You can paint and photograph these very views if you join us for our Tuscany Workshop in 2017. Don’t miss out on an amazing trip! Space is filling up quickly and there are a few spaces left so that you can experience Tuscany yourself. See nikigulley.com/artreks for details or e-mail Niki Gulley for more information.

Ann Arbor Art Fair this weekend

July 18, 2012

36″ x 48″ textured mixed media on wrap around canvas

In this painting I wanted to create a dream-like feel using one of my favorite flowers, the poppy, so I chose to paint this landscape at dusk as the sun is starting to set over the distant hills to add to that mood. I love the wildflower masses in the foreground creating waves of color, and the curving shapes adding to the sense of tranquility.

“Bursting with Color” oil diptych at Madison’s Art Fair on the Square

July 8, 2011

Two 24” x 24” textured oil paintings on canvas to form a 24” x 48” diptych

I love it when we are driving leisurely through the countryside and we come across a gorgeous field of wildflowers. The sudden burst of color thrills your senses! Playing with color and texture, I feel like this poppy painting radiates with energy and captures the joy you feel on one of the first beautiful days of spring.

With this series, you can purchase either the left or the right painting to hang alone or display both side by side to form a panorama diptych.

Tuscany Plein Air Painting Workshop with Niki Gulley

April 8, 2011

Textured Oil on Wrap Around Canvas, 18” by 48”- Tuscany

Red headed poppies nod and wave, basking in spring sunshine, nestling in the green, rolling hills of Tuscany. Tall and straight against the cerulean sky cypress trees stand like sentinels on guard, perhaps lining the path to an ancient stone farmhouse? It’s Tuscany: fertile, fruitful and filled with stunning vistas in every direction.

You can paint and photograph these very views if you hurry! The deadline of April 9th for our Tuscany Workshop is fast approaching. Don’t miss out on an amazing trip! Space is filling up quickly and there are a few spaces left so that you can experience Tuscany yourself. See nikigulley.com/?page_id=13 for details or e-mail Niki Gulley for more information.
