I suppose I could have titled this painting "Strange Trees"! They are done by palette knives, as is most of the painting. The piece is very "edgy" (abstract) - I hope you like it!

Abstract Beach Scene "Ocean Series 9" Janet Bludau
12" x 12"
I can't remember a time that I didn't have an artistic pursuit but I found my true love with painting. Although I enjoy exploring with different techniques and materials, I primarily work in oils with an abstract style. Thick paint placed with a palette knife and strong geometric shapes are often found in my paintings.
After earning a degree in Business Admin/Marketing, I went on to several "Big Girl" corporate jobs and then owned and ran a design business in Hawaii, importing antiques from the mainland. My education was rounded out through the UC Berkeley Extension Art Program and the College of Marin Art and Design Program. I am fortunate to have had wonderful instructors as well as the insightful critiques of my fun, fellow painters.

"Painting Outside the Lines" Workshop with Niki Gulley Nov. 2-4
"Embrace" ©2012 Niki Gulley
textured oil painting • 36" x 36"
I wanted this birch painting to be very colorful and whimsical, like through the eyes of a child looking into the treetops with fascination. Painted with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives, the resulting painting is loaded with color, energy, movement and texture. This painting, along with several more of my textured aspen and birch tree paintings are hanging at the Good Art Company in Fredericksburg, TX. Visit goodartcompany.com/gac/or more details.
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?.
And, I will be at the gallery to talk with you on Nov. 2nd from 6pm - 8pm as one of the featured artists for Fall Gallery walk. I'd love to see you there!

Niki Gulley’s passion for painting began in grade school when she had to draw something as mundane as shoes for art class, and loved every minute of it. Her parents enrolled her in private lessons and she was hooked. Following her childhood in Chicago, Niki relocated to Dallas to pursue an art major at SMU. Since she disliked the freezing Illinois winters, Dallas seemed like the place to stay after graduating.
Next, Gulley entered the world of advertising, working as art director for a local magazine. After a few years passed, Niki felt like something was missing. So she started painting again every free moment. This is what she had been missing and she began to feel fulfilled again.
It is from this feeling of true joy that Niki translates onto canvas. She seeks to capture the beauty of our landscape, utilizing vivid colors in oil paint and pastels to convey a particular mood. Gulley invites you to reconnect with nature and escape day-to-day responsibilities along with her in these creations.

ThreeSome ~ Original Oil Painting by Karen Balon
ThreeSome ~ Twisted and Tangled
 |
| ThreeSome 12"x 24" Oil on Canvas with Palette Knife For a Larger View, Click Here |
"ThreeSome" is one of my "vision paintings.
They Twist, Turn and get Entangled with each other.
They Flow Up and Down
And All Around.
I Love all the Curves these morphing "Jellies" have.
They
Mesmerize me for hours,
your not sure where one Jelly finishes and the next one starts?
They must be from the Era of
Free Love?
Do you agree?
Karen is an intuitive artist with an innate connection to the universe. Turning mediative visions into mesmerizing paintings.
Using only a palette knife and bold colors Karen’s painting are intended to draw you in and caressing you like a lover. Sensual and tantalizing, whimsical and teasing, with curves that ebb and flow. Her pieces have been described as cosmic, relaxing yet full of energy, intuitive, erotic, fantasy, peaceful, organic and come from deep within her. You can feel her interconnectedness to the universe, she captivates you with her use of emotion, color and swirling tendrils that are a big part of her and her artwork.
Karen’s goal is for the viewer to find their own unique interpretation in her paintings. To let the imagination run free for a while and connect with their inner most feelings.

Featured Artist Niki Gulley at the Good Art Company, Nov. 2nd
"Autumn Carnival" ©2012 Niki Gulley
36" x 48" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas
Painted with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives so that this canvas is loaded with texture and bursting with color, 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.
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?.

The village of Roussillon is set in a stunning location - its red houses built on a hill top contrast strikingly with the dark green woods that surround it. Beneath the village red cliffs plunge down steeply to the plain below. The ochre quarries, which are no longer mined, are open to the public and there is a beautiful path winding round between steep banks of yellow and pink rock, at places forming stacks known in Provence as 'chimneys'.
Sitting on my easel....by Kay Wyne
This painting is not finished....needs to dry after layers and layers of paint were applied after getting bored with a still life drawing of peppers. I did not think the basket of peppers were going to make it....I just wasn't into it. So I started slapping thick layers of paint with the palette knife, painted a rough sketch of a rooster, and got colors going. More to come.....thanks for viewing. Kay

I'm Kathy Willis, an Arizona native residing in Flagstaff, a late-comer painter, blogger, and trailrunner. I've long been inspired by my southwest homeland, however it was a life-changing journey walking the 500 mile Camino de Santiago in Spain in celebration of my fiftieth birthday, that I discovered a desire to express myself through art. Now, after several years dabbling in art classes, and sixty fast approaching, the urgency to commit to my painting journey has taken root. As they say, "If not now...When?"
I started this blog to motivate my daily painting practice, more easily share my work, and hopefully encourage other late-comers as well. I will be posting new small paintings at least weekly. Thank you for visiting my blog. Buen Camino

Autumn Aspen Painting available as Canvas Prints by Niki Gulley
"Emergence" ©2012 Niki Gulley
20" x 30" or 28" x 40" Embellished Canvas Print
I wanted this painting to be about the power and energy in nature to invigorate your spirit more so than an exact replica of the forest, 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, so that you can feel the wind gently rustling the leaves and causing them to dance.
Emergence is now available as a stretched canvas print.
I have added thick paint to the prints so they are loaded with texture.
They are UV coated and are stretched with the painting continuing around the edges on 3/4" stretcher bars so that they can be hung as is without a frame, or if you prefer a traditional look, they can be framed also.
Please e-mail me for frame sample and prices or if you would prefer the print on deeper stretcher bars, e-mail me for a quote.
20" x 30" for $295 • 28" x 40" for $495
A close up detail of the added thick paint in the leaves and the trunks.

"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.

This week, I am taking a still life workshop from a wonderful artist named Sherry McGraw. We're working on composition and color. I don't think one can ever learn enough about composition and color. Here is the study I finished on Monday. The underpainting and toning were done in Burnt Umber. I've never used it much in my paintings before, but it has now been added to my permanent palette. I love it!

I know the holiday season has begun
when I'm so busy painting
I don't have time to blog ;)
This is one of my favorite figurative works to date.
Impressionism is all about piecing colors together so that when
one is next to another they visually unite into something
Beautiful.
The knife allows me to lay the paint like frosting.
Sculpting the color into form is what I do.
Joy!
Plein Air Painting Class at the Arboretum with Niki Gulley
"Autumn Clematis" ©2012 Niki Gulley
10" x 12" textured oil painting
I created this little painting of the purple Clematis at the Dallas Arboretum last fall with palette knife and thick oil paint. It was so peaceful in the Poetry Garden, that it seemed like a perfect place to set up my easel. I liked the contrast of the cool purple in the flowers against the warm light of the textured wall behind them. Accentuating the circular design they were forming along with forming curving paint strokes, adds to a feeling of movement and energy, almost as if the petals are dancing in the breeze.
If you, too, would like to paint outdoors, join me this Wednesday, Oct. 24th, when I'll be teaching a Plein Air Painting Workshop sponsored by the Dallas Arboretum. It will be a great introduction to painting outdoors for beginning artists, as well as an opportunity for advanced artists to enhance their skills.

Been having a little love affair with Palm Trees as of late.
Love the easy breezy relaxed way they have about them,
Their graceful sway,
The I don't have a care in the world sound.
Just makes you want to sit under one and and enjoy a coconut cocktail.
So I decided it might be fun to play with some Palm Trees in the studio.
There is the more Traditional palm,
color and style.
And,
The less traditional with loose free knife strokes
using purple and pink colors.

Vacation Sale! $25
This painting is a combination of palette knife and brush.
I recently took a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with three other painters.
We thought we would get a LOT of painting done.
Instead...... we spent a LOT of time on the lounge chairs and in the pool!
It was very, very warm and we just could not lift the palette knife........
We had a great time.
Come up with an excuse for a vacation - you will be glad you did :)

I am very happy with my work today. I gave myself an assignment to limit the number of tubes of paint I use, get to my point more directly- that is, not using a lot of paint, create depth, more design than realism and employ a system of color based upon dark moving forward , yellow being the first color to be lost in depth and blue the last. I think I can be happy for today.

CONTEMPORARY ROOSTER by OLGA WAGNER
I can't believe that it has been almost 2 months since I posted
anything. My painting in the past couple of months has been pretty
sparse...To be truthful it's been almost non-existent... I was offered
an awesome Software Development employment opportunity and have been
working really hard to get myself up to speed on the latest Data Center
Protocols, such as FCoE and LISP. Now that I have gained the necessary
confidence at work, I can get back to painting on a regular
basis...FINALLY!
This little rooster has been hanging around on my easel for a few weeks now. I started him about a month ago and was waiting for my painting MOJO to return to finish him...

In this painting, I wanted you to feel like a little kid again – laying on the ground and staring up into the treetops without a care in the world. I hope you experience the joy of being surrounded by nature and the beauty in this autumn kaleidoscope of colors.
I have received so many requests that I am now offering canvas prints of "Kaleidoscope of Dreams." Four 20" x 20" canvases are stretched on 3/4 inch stretcher bars with the image continuing around the edges to form a 40" x 40" quadriptych that does not need to be framed, just like the original . I have also added thick paint in some of the leaves and trunks to add even more texture and making each print one of a kind. Finally, I have coated the canvases with a UV varnish to protect the paintings. The canvases can be hung right up next to each other or spread apart by a few inches to come out to a maximum of 45" x 45", for only $895. I can also make other sizes or stretch Kaleidoscope of Dreams on deep 1 and 1/2 inch stretcher bars for an additional fee. Please contact me at Niki@NikiGulley.com for more information or to order "Kaleidoscope of Dreams."

It is from this feeling of true joy that Niki translates onto canvas. She seeks to capture the beauty of our landscape, utilizing vivid colors in oil paint and pastels to convey a particular mood. Gulley invites you to reconnect with nature and escape day-to-day responsibilities along with her in these creations.
