“Blazing a Trail” Abstracted Autumn Aspen Painting Niki Gulley

October 10, 2023

  

     

“Blazing a Trail” ©2023 Niki Gulley
SOLD * 30” x 30″ textured mixed media painting 
on 1.5″ wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges
 
Just sold through AO5 Gallery! Flickering autumn leaves seem to almost dance in a gentle breeze. I wanted this scene to be filled with movement and energy, so I incorporated a lot of diagonal and curving shapes in the design to suggest that feeling. Contrasting short staccato strokes against blended passages with my palette knives, also increase that sense of motion. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of walking through the woods on a beautiful fall day, letting your cares slip away and your spirit being invigorated.

New Textured Birch Trees Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

October 5, 2023
Can you really get enough birch trees??? I love their white peeling bark and vivid changing leaves. Hugging the shoreline of this peaceful lake, may these vertical beauties lift your spirits and bring some joyful color to your day! 
 

And, it turns out this was my last time to paint in Acadia National Park due to a truck hitting and destroying our side mirror (which led us down a several hour repair mission.) Luckily Scott cobbled something together and we’re all set for the next part of our Fall Foliage Freedom Tour. Stay tuned…

Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley Paints Maine’s Coasline

October 4, 2023

 

Since the leaves are just barely turning and we are in Acadia National Park, after all, I just had to paint this gorgeous ocean view that screams we are in Maine! Fascinating rock cliffs surrounded by pine trees, an endless expanding horizon, and listening to the crashing waves as they approach the shore, are just what the doctor ordered. How does it make you feel?

New “Between the Birches” Fall Foliage Painting from Maine by Niki Gulley

October 3, 2023

 

Back for day 2 in Arcadia National Park! I’m so glad we allowed for a few days here. Today we are in our RV, so parking is a bigger challenge. But, we found this beautiful spot alongside the road with plenty of room to park. The birches are starting to turn colors and I love this peaceful lake view. I hope it transports you to serenity, too!

New “Cadillac Mountain” Painting from Acadia National Park by Niki Gulley

September 29, 2023

Today we arrived in Acadia National Park in Maine and since no RV’s are allowed at the summit, we rode our scooter to the top of Cadillac Mountain. It was gorgeous! But there is not much room for art supplies in our little scooter’s storage compartment, so I packed my 5″ x 7″ paint gear and sat down on a fairly comfy boulder to paint this scenic view. With the first hints of fall in the ground cover adding a fun pop of red, I set out to capture this beautiful view of the rocks, pine trees, jagged hills and ocean.

What a fabulous day! Sun is shining. Waves are crashing. Seagulls are screaming. And, I’ve got my toes in the sand. We’ve landed on Old Orchard Beach in Maine just soaking up the beautiful scenery. Hope you can feel the beautiful ocean breezes and hear the cathartic sound of the tide, too!

New “Reflecting Fall” Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

September 27, 2023

 

We are loving the peaceful surroundings of Old Orchard Beach, Maine. We booked this picturesque campsite where we have our own dock and lake view. This morning we woke up to this serene scene, and of course, I just had to paint it! Golden light illuminating the beginnings of fall with a gentle ripple causing the reflections to meld into a beautiful symphony of colors.
