What a beautiful surprise to have these roses blooming in my garden this winter! Of course the next night it was supposed to freeze and I couldn’t let these beauties go to waste. After cutting and assembling them in a vase, I just kept staring at them as they were bringing so much color and joy to the grey day. Despite several projects on my plate, I had to take a break and capture these rosy fleeting blooms. May they bring some vibrancy to your winter days, too.

Plein Air Painting Texas Bluebonnets and Wildflowers with Niki Gulley

May 14, 2025

 

“Springtime at the Lake” ©2025 Niki Gulley
12″ x 16″ textured acrylic painting on canvas panel
 
 
Recently I found this prolific patch of bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush at Lake Bardwell in Ennis, TX, and I had to capture all of those beautiful blooms before they were gone. This morning started out slightly overcast, and 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 the lake and accentuating the rows of wildflowers along the hill. It was such a peaceful spot and I wanted that emotion to come through, too. I hope you can feel the joy and tranquility of springtime with the wildflowers abloom in the Texas!

Painting in the Texas Hill Country with Impressionist Niki Gulley

May 13, 2025

  

“Living History IV” ©2025 Niki Gulley
24″ x 12″ textured acrylic painting on canvas

“For me, wildflowers are joy-giving. They have enriched my life and fed my soul and given beautiful memories to sustain me.”
– Lady Bird Johnson

Surrounded by a sea of blue – Scott captured me in my element here! Not only were the bluebonnets and wildflowers beautiful this year, but I just adore the live oaks, too. Their massive stature, their gnarly, twisting branches and the umbrella of shade they cast, just make me want to paint them over and over again. Leaving bluebonnets large and prominent in the foreground, rows and rows of cobalt lift your spirits and lead you back to the shelter of the grand old oaks. I hope you, too, can enjoy the beauty of Texas in all of its spring glory.
