Abstract Roses impressionist floral painting by Marion Hedger

Colourful Abstract Roses, still life painting by Marion Hedger
30 cm x 30 x 3.5 cm (12" x 12" x 1.5") 
oil on box / gallery wrapped canvas


Beautiful colorful roses painted in an abstract way with a cream/blue/purple background. The thickly applied knife strokes add texture and movement to the flowers as can be seen in the close-up phot0s - a modern use of impressionism.

Give a gift of everlasting roses for Valentine's Day.

This painting is full of life and will look good in any setting and in either a contemporary or traditional decor. An ideal gift for gardeners, flower arrangers or just flower lovers (and who isn't?).

Daily Painting | Small Oil Painting | Small Seascape |Tropical Waters by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Oil SOLD

If you follow this blog, you know how much I like to paint seascapes.  Not just any seascapes, but scenes from my own little piece of the Atlantic.



SOLD


The waves were coming in quickly on this day.  I think a "tropical depression" was off shore.  Tropical depression is a weatherman's term, several steps below a hurricane, but usually meaning the winds will kick up to some degree and rain is on the horizon.  Of course, in Florida, this time of the year.....rain is always on the horizon.



This photo is a little wonky.....sorry!  When I take photos of my paintings, I usually have 5-10 paintings to photograph, trying to get 5-6 shots of each.  I get a little production line going...and I guess I didn't pay much attention to how this one was lined up :)

Rocks......and more rocks by Kathryn Stotler


River Rocks
Acrylic on canvas
36 x 36


This is one of six large paintings completed with the knives that are on display at our local airport. The inspiration for this came from years of camping along the Eel and Smith Rivers as a child. A child of Los Angeles,  the water resting on top of the rocks and the old, worn, smooth surfaces of those that stayed dry seared an impression that will never leave me.

Duck Painting, Wildlife Painting, "Just Hanging Out" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" oil SOLD

I found this little girl duck at Nantahala Outdoor Center, in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just hanging out on a rock in the river.

SOLD

 She seemed quite content!  Pretty surprising when you see what was going on 50 yards down the river...



International Kayak competition!  The ducks were not annoyed.........


This setting seems to suit the painting a little more.


Enjoy your day!

"Henry" by Lynda Cookson

"Henry" is presenting residing in Gallery 1608 in Bushmills, Northern Ireland. Yup ... where the whiskey comes from. He's rather vibrant and, in a way, I'm hoping he doesn't sell and comes home to me instead! Nevertheless, I have to get over my possessiveness of certain paintings, so if you like Henry and would like him to be your own, please email me and we'll chat.

New "Tuscan Dreams" Palette Knife Poppy Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley


“Tuscan Dreams" ©2016 Niki Gulley
24" x 24" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Inspired from a wonderful trip to Tuscany, I wanted this piece to be uplifting and full of joy and energy. Set beneath a colorful sky with a few clouds drifting by on a beautiful day in springtime, the poppies and wildflowers are in full bloom. Using broken impressionistic strokes in surprising hues, causes the landscape to dance and flow, and I hope all of your cares drift away while gazing into this cheerful scene.

You can paint and photograph these very views if you join us for our Tuscany Workshop in 2017. Don’t miss out on an amazing trip! Space is filling up quickly and there are a few spaces left so that you can experience Tuscany yourself. See nikigulley.com/artreks for details or e-mail Niki Gulley for more information.

Landscape Painting, The Picnic Spot by Marion Hedger

The Picnic Spot
Oil palette knife painting
25x30cm (10"x12") box canvas 28mm deep
The edges are painted black. This painting would look good in a floating frame
Contact me about this or any other painting HERE
On our day trips out around Provence we normally take a picnic for lunch. Sometimes we can drive for ages to find that 'ideal' spot, sunny but shady, quiet, close to the road but not busy etc. I'm sure you've all done the same. Sometimes, like the spot in the painting, we hit it without too much trouble. The sunlight and shadows appealed to me, and this is the painting with a little bit of editing to remove a few trees.

New "Sun Salutations" Sunflower Palette Knife Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley


“Sun Salutations" ©2016 Niki Gulley
30" x 48" textured mixed media painting on wrap around canvas

Sun Salutations is inspired from one of the amazing locations we take our students to on our Provence Art Trek. We actually set up our easels in this gorgeous lavender and sunflower field, where the flowers seem to stretch forever and the color and aroma explosion are out of this world! Back in my studio, I worked from a combination of photos, on-site sketches and memories. Painting the sunflowers full-sized in the foreground helps to bring them to life and hopefully transport you to this beautiful location. Contrasting the complimentary colored lavender field in the distance draws your eye to the focal point, while repeating surprising pops of vivid color keeps your eye moving throughout the scene and adds to the joyful feeling. 

If you'd like more information or a brochure on one of our upcoming Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshops, please let me know. This year's upcoming Art Trek to Spain is full, but we are taking reservations for the following year to Tuscany, England and Ireland. 
For more details, e-mail Niki@NikiGulley.com or go to nikigulley.com/artreks.

For more information on my textured sunflower and poppy paintings, please e-mail Niki Gulley.
