Nature’s Masterpieces amongst the Texas Wildflowers

February 12, 2025

Nature creates the most beautiful masterpieces.

As an artist, I’m simply here to translate that beauty onto canvas, capturing not just the colors, but the feeling of standing in a field of wildflowers swaying in the breeze.

There’s something magical about how each flower adds its own unique voice to nature’s symphony. Just like in life, it’s our differences that create the most beautiful harmonies. ?

What speaks to your soul in nature?

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. ?

“Blossoming Dreams II” Abstract Bluebonnet Painting by Niki Gulley

January 13, 2025

SOLD • 24″ x 36″ textured mixed media painting on 1.5″ wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges

Just sold! I wanted to show Texas’ spring landscape in a completely different way. Making sure not to over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the energy found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting, while rendering the bluebonnets and wildflowers along with their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and showing it in a contemporary way. With an aura of mystery, late day light touches the tops of the grasses and hills with glimmers of hope.
