"Texas Treats" bluebonnet paintings by Niki Gulley

"Texas Treats" ©2011 Niki Gulley

12" x 12" textured oil painting on canvas

I painted these Texas bluebonnets and 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.

These 12" x 12" squares look great in pairs and threes! Hang them horizontally to fill space, vertically for a small wall or diagonally to lead your eye upwards, such as in a staircase. Pictured below are today's "Texas Treats" next to Monday's "Texas Treats V" canvas. If interested in purchasing one or both of these bluebonnets, e-mail Niki Gulley.
