Texas Bluebonnets & Indian Blanket by Niki Gulley

"Texas Treats V" ©2011 Niki Gulley

12" x 12" textured oil painting on canvas

I painted these Texas bluebonnets and Indian Blanket with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve extreme texture. The resulting image comes to life and is loaded with color and energy. In this wildflower series, I've painted the scene around the edges of the canvas on 1 and 1/2" deep stretcher bars so that the paintings can be hung without a frame for a unique sculptural effect.
