“Painting Outside the Lines” Workshop with Niki Gulley

“Heightened Awareness” ©2012 Niki Gulley
Sold • 48” x 36” textured oil on canvas


Just Sold at the Good Art Company! In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and the heavens above. Choosing vibrant, cheerful yellows contrasted against a crystal blue sky and arranging the aspens in a circular pattern heightened by thick, curving paint strokes, both add to that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery.

If you would like to paint with more freedom, color and energy in your work, join me on Nov. 2nd – 4th when I’ll be teaching a “Painting Outside the Lines” workshop sponsored by the Good Art Company in Fredericksburg, TX. For more information, visit goodartcompany.com/gacart/index.php?.

Golden Transitions textured aspen tree painting by Niki Gullley

“Golden Transitions” ©2012 Niki Gulley
textured oil on canvas • 36″ x 60″
In “Golden Transitions,” I wanted you to feel like you were deep in the middle of the woods surrounded by nature in all of its beautiful autumn glory. I painted these aspen trees with extremely thick oil paint so that the texture and colors leap off the canvas.

If you are in Ann Arbor, MI this weekend, please stop by my booth at the largest art show in the country to see more of my textured birch and aspen tree paintings.

American Fine Art Featuring Niki Gulley- April 21st

“Autumn Gems” ©2012 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 36” x 60” textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

JUST SOLD! I wanted this painting to be about the power and energy in nature to invigorate your spirit, so I chose to use warm vivid colors and thick staccato strokes to add to that feeling. I placed the foliage in diagonal sweeping shapes to create a sense of movement, and so that you can feel the wind gently rustling the leaves and causing them to dance.

To see more of Niki Gulley’s textured landscape paintings, visit American Fine Art Gallery in Dallas, (American Fine Art.) 
Gulley will be the featured artist this month, and on April 21st the gallery will host a reception with the artist as part of Dallas’ Spring Gallery Walk.
