New Joyful Abstract Bluebonnet Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

March 8, 2024

34″ x 34″ textured acrylic painting on wrap around canvas

On our drive through the Hill Country last spring, I was drawn to this lone grouping of live oaks rising above the horizon. Waves of Texas bluebonnets lead your eye into the distance towards that late light illuminating the wildflower filled hill and foliage. Adding pops of color in between the blooms invites your eyes to dance across the canvas and from foreground to background, feeling the excitement of the moment. Welcome to the joy and energy of springtime in Texas!

What a beautiful surprise to have these roses blooming in my garden this winter! Of course the next night it was supposed to freeze and I couldn’t let these beauties go to waste. After cutting and assembling them in a vase, I just kept staring at them as they were bringing so much color and joy to the grey day. Despite several projects on my plate, I had to take a break and capture these rosy fleeting blooms. May they bring some vibrancy to your winter days, too.

“Arms to Heaven” Uplifting Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

December 26, 2023

30″ x 30″ textured mixed media painting on 1.5″ deep canvas with the painting wrapping around the edges

In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and heavens above. Choosing uplifting autumn tones contrasted against a turquoise blue sky, gentle clouds drift by as the sun peeks through casting its magical light on everything it touches and lifting your spirits. Arranging the trees in a circular pattern gives you a sense of laying on the ground, surrounded by the forest and directs your eye to hope’s focal point. Utilizing thick, energetic paint strokes adds to that joyful, playful feeling of promise and discovery.
