Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Floral Still Life, Small Flower Painting, Flower Knife Art, "Roadside Bouquet" by Carol Schiff, 8x8x1.5" Oil
I call this "Roadside Bouquet" because I was walking a country road in the Blue Ridge Mountains last summer, and I collected all these wonderful flowers blooming in ditches and fields. Wild day lily, Queen Ann's Lace, daisy and purple clover abound!
I was in the zone, while painting this, slinging paint and making no effort to be true to the image I was working from. No, my orange day lilies don't look like day lilies and I am fine with that.
It was one of my favorite home made bouquets...here is the picture.
I cannot wait for summer to return!
Thanks for reading my blog today.

New "Autumn Reflections" Palette Knife Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley
"Autumn Reflections" ©2015 Niki Gulley
18" x 48" textured oil painting on gallery wrap canvas
In Autumn Reflections, I wanted to give you the feeling of a beautiful, peaceful retreat on a colorful autumn day. To create that feeling of being immersed in nature, I chose this long panorama format so that the sanctuary is completely engulfed in fall foliage, a perfect escape from bustling city life. Loaded with uplifting color, still waters suggest a calming effect. One small ripple in the lake's distance lets you know that some ducks just swam by and you are surrounded by wildlife, not a care in the world.
If you're in the Dallas area this coming weekend and you'd like to see Autumn Reflections and more of my palette knife paintings in person, please stop by my booth at the Cottonwood Art Festival.

To see more of Niki Gulley's contemporary landscape paintings, visit NikiGulley.com.
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.
Grey on Grey, by New York artist, Celeste Plowden
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

"Heightened Awareness" Palette Knife Aspen Treetop Painting by Niki Gulley
"Heightened Awareness” ©2015 Niki Gulley
48” x 30” textured mixed media on canvas
In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and the heavens above. Choosing vibrant, cheerful yellows contrasted against a vivid blue sky and arranging the aspens in a circular pattern heightened by thick, curving paint strokes, both add to that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery.

Afternoon Delight by Kay Wyne
Afternoon Delight
12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Floral Landscape
I was back in the studio yesterday, and got my palette knife out and created this painting. The paint is layered on the panel, giving it texture and depth. I moved the paint around quite a bit once it was on the panel. The horizon line was changed numerous times...I wanted it to fade into the background, and needed to mix my oils over and over to get a hazy far-away look. I hope the viewer will feel good looking at this painting, as if he/she is standing in the field on a beautiful, delightful afternoon. Thanks for looking at this painting.....contact Kay for more info on this painting. KMW

Tropical Landscape Art, Florida Painting, Florida Morning" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil Landscape
I work up eary, grabbed a cup of coffee and my camera, and headed to Florida's intracoastal waterway. In our area, it is the Indian River, and I arrived there just in time to see the sun break over the horizon.
When I had finished my photos, I drank my coffee and enjoyed that wonderful early morning atmosphere. You know the one, where it seems that only you and maybe a few birds are up and around. It is so still, the birds are starting to feed, and a small pod of dolphins are fishing off shore. Heaven!
I am often asked where I find my small frames. The answer is my favorite framer. Apparently it is standard procedure for framers to throw away the end pieces of moldings. My framer, who has a large following of artists, started using those end pieces to make up small standard sized frames. He always has a good selection and sells them for next to nothing. Perfect for starving artists!
If you are in Melbourne, FL area, his store is Ridley's Frames on Palm Bay Road and Troutman Ave. in Palm Bay. Stop in and load up on his treasures and tell him I sent you in :)
Happy Day!

"Creating Memories" Palette Knife Oil Painting of Venice, Italy by Niki Gulley
"Creating Memories," Venice ©2015 Niki Gulley
24" x 36" • textured oil painting
Inspired from our first trip to Italy, I fell in love with everything about Venice. The city feels preserved in time with all transportation happening on water versus roads. The architecture, art, history, and people are all fascinating, the food and wine delicious, and it was such a romantic place to visit. So in this painting, I captured a lone gondola to convey that feeling of lazily drifting along with your loved one down this brick canal filled with history and future memories.

Magenta Shades by David Edwards
Magenta Shades is an original acrylic palette knife painting 10x8 inches
on a one and a half inch deep gallery wrap canvas. I have painted the edges grey but would
repaint them a color of your choosing. The painting is ready from
hanging as is or displaying on an easel.
this painting is available in my Etsy shop
larger works can be seen on my website
email me for more information
I was born in Essex, England in 1944 and emigrated to Canada in 1957, residing first in Toronto and moving to Calgary in 1960. Now residing in Kelowna, British Columbia. Early influences on my style and career included J M W Turner and John Constable.
Later, the work of the late French minimalist Nicolas De Stael played the most significant role in my development as a painter. My landscape paintings are abstracted to simple forms relying on texture and tonal variations to create drama.
My still-life and flower works are painted with a palette knife and sometimes brush in acrylic either on canvass or panels. I build the shapes of the abstracted flowers, not being at all concerned with the type of flower, by layering subtle changes in tone and colour value, creating my own style of still-life. Most of my landscapes are painted with a brush although occasionally a palette knife may be used for effect.
My paintings hang in corporate and private collections across the world. I've had a number of solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the USA.
I'm a member of Landscape Artists International and the International Society of Acrylic Painters.

Pink Blush Tulips, a New DVD, and a Radio Interview - Flower Painting Classes and Workshops by Nancy Medina Art
Pink Blush Tulips
by Nancy Medina
16X16
Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas
I was feeling quite blue
about missing the tulip fest at the Dallas Arboretum this spring, when I
stumbled upon a bouquet of big pink tulips at the flower market today. I could
hardly wait to get them home and put them under the spotlight! Pink Blush
Tulips celebrates all my favorite spring colors, with a mix of warm peach and
pink spring hues.
The real prize at the market
was a bundle of peonies - cross your fingers, toes and flower petals that the
peonies will fluff open in the next day or two and be ready to pose for a
painting! If I get really lucky, they'll hold up for my next DVD filming coming
up very soon. (Stay tuned for more details on the new video lesson coming up
soon...)
My first radio interview
aired a few days ago, for Artists Helping Artists on Blog Talk Radio. Awesome
hostesses Margaret Sheldon and Leslie Saeta put me right at ease. You
can hear the whole interview, even if you missed the event, since it's all on
the streaming thingy ma bob system. Break out the popcorn and enjoy!
The studio models take a bow!

"Hill Town Spring (Italy)" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting
+4.5x5.25.JPG)
Ah, Italy, hill towns, Tuscany, and Spring!
Fields full of red poppies, unbelievably vibrant. The curvy and steep
roads leading into the town of Cortona. The old buildings, rugged
stones from years ago. Just have to love this place!
"Hill Town Spring (Italy)", 4.5"x5.25" unframed palette knife oil painting on panel, write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information
"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.
"Life is short, use color!"
PALM FOREST, 8x8 Mixed Media Collage SOLD
In my humble opinion, there are two types of artists. There are the ones that choose a media, find a style, paint a small variety of subject matter, and get very, very expert in their genre. The other type is all over the board, changing media, changing subject matter, experimenting, experimenting, experimenting....that would be me.
I try to behave like a grown up, but I just can't seem to pull it off! My mind is buzzing....oils, landscapes, still life, abstract, collage, mixed media. How can I possibly get "good" at anything when I am doing everything?
Then I read an article about a sweet little old lady in our town. She was well into her 80's but didn't look it at all. An association that honors senior's requests asked what is the one thing she would like to do the most. Her reply......she wanted to be a Las Vegas showgirl! They couldn't pull that off, but they did send her on a crazy trip to Vegas.
Months later, they had a request from the Tattoo reality show, for a senior who would like to be on the show. Guess who they recommended? So this little lady, was flown to NYC, given celebrity status, and filmed getting a tatoo that covers half her back. In case you think that was her first tat....no way, she had 3 others and her husband had a few too. Most importantly, they are having the time of their life...and I think that is keeping them young! This lady remarked "Why do I have to disappear, just because I am over 80?"
Why indeed!
So, this morning, I am giving myself permission to paint or assemble anything I want. Life is short....enjoy the journey! (Still don't have a tat though)
Bon voyage!
