Miniature Poppy oil painting

Poppy study II by Niki Gulley
5″ x 7″

I created this second floral study to pair with my other miniature poppy paintings. Using palette knives and extremely thick oil paint to achieve texture and dimension. I love the bright, happy colors! To see these floral studies in person, stop by my booth at Madison, Wisconsin’s Art Fair on the Square this weekend. For more details on the show, see mmoca.org.

Oil painting • 18” x 36”

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. So in Poppy Passion, I combined memories of places I’ve been with intense complimentary colors to convey that joy I feel when I come across a gorgeous field of poppies.

If you’d like to see Poppy Passion in person, visit my booth this weekend at Art in the Square in Madison, WI, mmoca.org.

Texas Bluebonnets Oil Painting

April 21, 2010

12″ x 24″ oil painting

Bluebonnets in Ennis, Texas on a beautiful clear day. I thought it was important to get both the red barn and the pond in this painting to set the scene, so in order to balance all of that weight on the right hand side of the picture, I chose a panorama format to include the trees and driveway on the left side of the property.

I’ll have this painting and several other Texas landscapes at Southlake’s Art in the Square this weekend. I hope you can stop by!
