"Transcending Luminosity" by Niki Gulley at Watters Creek

"Transcending Luminosity" ©2011 Niki Gulley

Three 48" x 30" canvases to form a 48" x 90" triptych

textured oil on wrap around canvas

I decided it would be a fun challenge to create an extremely large painting this winter, and I wanted the final piece to be very uplifting, colorful and full of energy. Opting for warm colors and working with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives, I chose this water scene for its energetic flow and yet calming serenity at the same time, and positioned the water lilies and my paint strokes in a circular pattern to enliven that mood.

Also available in limited edition stretched canvas prints.
