New “Pops of Red” Textured Poppy Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

October 13, 2020

24″ x 12″ textured mixed media painting on canvas

I wanted to capture the rhythm, color, and density of vibrant poppies flowing along this grassy hill. Making sure to not over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the energy found in nature, Pops of Red II is loaded with texture, color and movement. Vertical diagonal rows of ruby jewel tones lead your eye to the foliage in the distance, inviting you to stroll amongst the gorgeous wildflowers. Arranging the blooms vertically are designed to lift your spirits and add joy and serenity to your home.

I’m excited to have been invited to exhibit at Studio Seven Arts in Pleasanton, CA. If you’d like to see or find out more details about Pops of Red, please check them out:

Yellow and Purple Iris Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

September 28, 2020

This is part of a new series of paintings that I am doing that incorporates a couple of different techniques, from thicker paint applied with palette knife along with drips and swirls. This gives the painting even more of a 3D feel that just comes alive and jumps off the page.

“Purple Shadows” from the Willow City Loop by Niki Gulley

September 18, 2020

Painted on location along the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg, TX, I was drawn to this tranquil spot, especially as the day was getting hotter. When I started the scene, there were just a few shadows being cast from the trees on the right but they kept growing as I was painting! I liked the rhythm they were creating so I decided to include their patterns and go ahead and chase the light (which is a no no for plein air painters). But there’s always exceptions to the rules, right? I hope you enjoy this cool peaceful place as much as I did.

New “Barn at LBJ Ranch” Oil Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

September 17, 2020

I created this while on a painting competition for the American Impressionists Society which was held in Fredericksburg, TX this spring. We were open to painting anything that we would like and I ran across this beautiful red barn nestled in amongst the massive, gnarly trees on the LBJ Ranch and just couldn’t resist painting it.

“The Oldest House in Glen Rose” by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

September 3, 2020

12″ x 16″ textured oil painting • Glen Rose, TX

Painted on location in Glen Rose, Texas with the company of my Outdoor Painters Society, I chose to paint the oldest house in town. It was so full of character and charm and I loved the big huge front porch and white-washed picket fence. The pergola welcomes you to step right in and relax on a rocking chair, visiting with neighbors and loved ones. Dramatic lighting and shadows add to the warmth of the moment.

“Water Hole” Textured Oil Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

September 2, 2020

14″ x 11” textured oil on painting

I painted “Water Hole” on location in East Texas amongst the piney woods. This scene was so peaceful and I liked how the evergreens provided shade, keeping the warm Texas sun at bay. One lone boat sits on the shoreline, inviting you to sit down and row across the tranquil lake. I hope this piece transports you to a quiet weekend escape, surrounded by nature, with not a care in the world.

“Nature’s Ascension” Palette Knife Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

September 1, 2020

16″ x 12” textured oil on painting

I created “Nature’s Ascension” on a beautiful day last fall at one of my favorite painting spots near our home. I was attracted to the colorful dappled light raking across these steps and hillside, beckoning you to ascend. Meanwhile this majestic sycamore stands tall in its fall glory, also inviting you into the distance to discover what’s beyond. Painted with palette knife and thick oil paint, this landscape is filled with color, movement and energy!
