“Waltz of the Sunflowers” New Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

24″ x 12″ textured mixed media painting on canvas

This winter has been so grey and cold that I had to buy a bouquet of sunflowers to cheer myself up. Not only did they do the trick, but I was also inspired to paint their infectious beauty. To lift your spirits, too, I arranged the blooms vertically in my composition and repeated the circular shapes in the foreground and background to create a sense of joyful energy and movement. I hope you can hear a beautiful symphony playing while sunflowers dance to the melodic tune.

These vibrant sunflowers can also be hung horizontally.

“Sunshine on My Mind” New Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

SOLD • 24″ x 12″ textured mixed media painting on canvas

Just Sold! I saw these cheerful sunflowers planted in my neighborhood every time I got in my car to ran errands  and they were so bright and colorful, I just had to paint them! So this week, I dragged my body out of bed at 5 a.m. to capture them at sunrise before our Texas heat reached 100 degrees. While not normally an early riser, it was well worth it to bask in their glory while I was painting. I hope you, too, can enjoy their sunshine and start your day with a smile.

“Reaching for the Sun” Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

SOLD • 24″ x 12″ textured mixed media painting on canvas

Just sold through Sandz Fine Art Gallery! I painted these sunflowers right in my backyard. We patiently awaited as we watched them grow practically 6 inches every day, thinking any minute they would bloom. They were so fun to watch! Blossoms the size of dinner plates, chased the sun and smiled at us from the backyard. I had to go out over the course of several mornings and capture all of that happy beauty. Loaded with texture and energy, these flowers practically spring to life from the canvas!
