Abstract Landscape, Daily Painting, "Fire in the Sky" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil
Whenever I feel the need to push my art, I turn to abstract. This time, I wanted some representation in the piece.
I started with an old reference photo and worked hard to bring movement and heat to the piece.

E-mail - Niki Gulley
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.

Canadian Artist Tammy Hext
Welcome to my art blog. I am an oil painter with a BFA from the University of Guelph. My goal is not to render the subject exactly, but rather to explore it with the paint keeping the application loose and spontaneous. I use the impasto technique which allows for wonderful texture and really celebrates the medium. I want the viewer to see the knife or brush work - to be aware of and have an appreciation for the paint.
If you are interested in a painting please send me an email: tammy@tammyhext.com

Abstract Seascape, "Sunset" by Carol Schiff, 11x14 Acrylic
Living next to the sea, I try to visit the beach at daybreak as often as possible. Of course, this means starting my day a little earlier than usual.

"Inspired by the Hydrangeas of Wales" by Karla Nolan
Yes, I AM part Welsh! My mother's family came from a tiny town near Aberystwyth, a university town, and my husband, two daughters and I have been to visit our distant relatives, one time meeting my father there, also, he loved the Welsh relatives...with good reason. Whilst there (don't I sound fancy!), I had the pleasure of viewing many beautifully hued hydrangeas blooming in a garden in Tenby, in the month of July, no less. It was much cooler than we had anticipated, the weather was much like that of Scotland, cool, misty, foggy, and green, with a great deal of sheep and lambs about.. I loved it! And my relatives there are wonderful, I hope we do get to see them again. (I am also Jewish, so you can imagine how difficult life is with the native languages, Hebrew and Welsh, virtually impossible for me to learn either. Oh well.)

Thanks for viewing my art! Greetings from Fort Collins, Colorado
"Life is an onion and one peels it crying."--French proverb
Escapism. Defying time. Serenity and solace. Reliving treasured moments...the reasons I paint and make artwork. The creative acts are surely the most pleasant and yet difficult of all. Color and form are special friends. The challenge of perfecting artwork is monumental and exhilarating. This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. Judaica is my most challenging art...Hebrew and I don't always get along!
I'm mainly self-taught in art, relying on intuition, experimentation, benefiting from studying books, visiting museums, galleries and learning painting techniques from other artist friends/relatives. I've studied pastels with Clive Tyler, taken oils with Daniel Edmondson. My newest medium is painting on glass, inspired by an Italian master, bringing this art technique home and applying my own topics. My oils are mainly with palette knife.
This art style might be called "abstract realism", an oxymoron in its own right. Favorite contemporary artists include Cruciani, L Horowitz, Berberian, S Stork, C Tyler, D Edmondson.

Flower Painting, "Geranium Joy" by Carol Schiff 8x10" Oil
What could be cheerier on a dreary day that a bright red flower painting? Geraniums are always a favorite in my home. This one is painted on stretched canvas and looks fantastic in a bold black frame.
This will brighten up even the darkest, most boring corner of your home.
Once again, my goal was to keep my colors clean and bright and my strokes simple and bold. I think I achieved my goals in this flower painting

New "Highlands Sunset" Palette Knife oil painting by Niki Gulley
"Highlands Sunset" ©2014 Niki Gulley
12" x 24" textured oil painting
We came across this gorgeous sunset while visiting the Highlands in Scotland. Between the intense colors in the sky, the wide lake spreading before us and the enchanting hills in the distance, I just had to paint this scene. I chose a panorama format to give you a better feeling for its expansive beauty and peacefulness.

To The Sea by Janet Bludau, Abstract, Palette Knife, Landscapes and Seascapes
12" x 12" on Deep Birch Panel
Ready to hang alone or with "Meandering" and "As Far As The Eye Can See"
These 2 additional pieces can be found on my website
The wood sides have been waxed with a clear Briwax and buffed
There is a red underpainting applied in the first stage of this painting.
After that I have gone in and added layers, changing parts of the painting as I go.
The last stage is where I took several Oil Sticks to the grass areas and also scratched into the oil with palette knives.
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.
Daily Painting, Shell Still Life, "Queen Conch" by Carol Schiff, 8x10" Oil
I found this Queen Conch shell on the beach during a trip to the Abaco Islands. The Abaco Islands are a small, but beautiful chain of quaint islands off the shore of Florida. Easy to travel to and with all beautiful unspoiled beaches, great fishing and diving and just plain relaxing. They are not on the tourist route, which is an added bonus.
I placed it in an east facing window one morning, and got a remarkable glow as the sun shone through the shell. It seemed to be on fire and I tried to capture that beauty here.
Maybe not quite as nice as a trip to the islands, but a close second! Every time I see it, I can feel sand between my toes.

Marsh Painting, Small Oil Painting, "North Florida Marsh" by Carol Schiff, 6x6x1.5"
Most of my paintings are done from photo references, but sometimes I like to work from memory. This little marsh painting is one of the memories.
I was thinking of the beautiful marshes around Jacksonville, FL and southern Georgia when I painted this. We travel the route often and I am always frustrated because I cannot get a decent image of the scene when buzzing down the interstate at 70 MPH.
It was interesting trying to work out direction of sunlight etc, but also very freeing. I will be doing this more often.

This painting was a lot of fun to create! After blocking in the initial layer of paint with a brush, I switched to my palette knife and built up layers of color and texture. Although this piece was done in the studio, my goal was to capture the essence of the river scene on the day I stood along its banks.

24X30
Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas
The U-Haul is all loaded with over 100 new paintings, with my yellow director's chairs and my new rolling table with my new hydrangea tablecloth, and my purse is full of sunscreen, bubblegum and chocolate. I can't imagine anything more I need to have a successful art show in the garden during Dallas Arboretum Artscape except for one super important ingredient - YOU! You are invited to join me for my only outdoor show of the year this weekend in Booth 43, April 26-27, with a member preview Friday evening from 6 to 8 pm. I've doubled the size of my tent for 2014, so you'll get to see twice as many flower paintings. You could even move some living room furniture in there and sit down with a bowl of popcorn or take a nap under awning number two. The possibilities are endless!
I'm always excited to visit the Arboretum, after all, it's the incredible staff in the Adult Education Department who first convinced me to start teaching flower painting over 4 years ago. Little did I know, I was about to embark on the most enjoyable chapter in my life, my work as a flower painting instructor. Wear your comfy shoes and bring your camera and join me in the gardens, I'll be the lady in the pink apron with just a dab of green paint on her nose....
Studio Director AnnieBee wonders what all the art fair fuss is about?
You Are Invited!

This was painted while the tulips were in their prime brightening up the garden. It started out as impressionist/realism but I got carried away. I took a palette knife to the surface and swiped it over the painting. This gave a lovely loose abstract feel. A few lines finished off the painting.
