Framed as shown in silver wood with off white mat (minor flaws in the silver frame)
 
 
I love the way the petals fell on these bearded irises, showing various shades of purple exposing their golden plumes.  Mist from the sprinklers causes the background colors to swirl and dance, creating a beautiful harmony in this scene.

“Scenic Byway II” ©2023 Niki Gulley

16″ x 20″ textured oil painting on canvas

Painted just outside of Santa Fe, the fall colors were gorgeous this year. The contrast of complimentary oranges and blues and yellows and purples created an energetic symphony for the eyes! Bright sunshine warmed up the day and caused the light to glow and dance. I hope you can enjoy the escape of a leisurely drive through the beautiful autumn scenery of New Mexico.

To purchase “Scenic Byway II,” please visit the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX at goodartcompany.com/niki-gulley .

And, if you’d like to see this painting and meet me in person, please stop by the gallery’s 15 year anniversary celebration on Feb. 3rd!

“Daffodils” Contemporary Impressionistic Floral Pastel by Niki Gulley

February 20, 2024

18″ x 24” pastel on paper
 
Daffodils are symbols of spring and in many cultures their blooms kick off the start of many festivals. For me they just seem to make me happy. The petals appear to dance in the breeze with the colors inviting you in for a closer look. Their beauty is fleeting though, so I had to capture them quick before they faded out until next year.

Framed as shown in silver metal frame with off white mat • (will be shipped in frame for protection, but will probably need to be reframed)
 
What a treat to find this little guy taking a break on these elephant ears at the Dallas Arboretum.  The black and orange of this monarch butterfly caught my eye but the curves of the ears led me right to him. Vibrant yellows with a rainbow of colors fill the background.

20″ x 24″ textured mixed media painting on canvas
 

I painted “Spring Forward” while visiting the Texas Hill Country. The explosion of color along roadsides was incredible! This morning the sun kept peeking in and out of the clouds, creating a soft glow to everything it touched. I wanted to capture that magical light illuminating your journey lined by bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of springtime with the wildflowers abloom!

 “Chromatic Transitons” ©2023 Niki Gulley

Three 36” x  18” mixed media paintings on canvas to form a 36″ x 54″ triptych

Spreading their joy across the landscape, I wanted to capture the rhythm, color, and density of beautiful, uplifting wildflowers in bloom. Starting with the first signs of spring when prolific bluebonnets carpet the hills, moving into May as vibrant poppies cast their merriment and energy, and finally transitioning into mid-summer when the amazing aromas of lavender fill the air. Dreamy light illuminates the sky and dances across the blanketed fields to bring nature’s glory, hope and serenity to your home.

Please visit the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX at goodartcompany.com/niki-gulley for more details on this “Chromatic Transitions” triptych filled with joy, color and texture!

Here’s another one of the commissions I completed this winter for my Dallas collectors.
