"Embrace" textured birch oil painting by Niki Gulley

"Embrace" ©2015 Niki Gulley

textured oil painting • 36" x 36" on wrap around canvas

I like to play with blurring the lines between realism and abstraction so that some things are left up to the viewer’s imagination. In the case of “Embrace,” I chose this unusual, asymmetrical heart-shaped composition and teased your eye with foreground and background emerging and disappearing to create a more abstract scene. Choosing fiery reds contrasted against turquoise blues cause the colors to dance and vibrate. While diagonal strokes and a circular composition combined with the vibrant hues, create a sense of energy, movement and harmony. Using all of these elements, I wanted to create an uplifting, whimsical, passionate painting filled with youthful hope and discovery.

Just Sold! "Autumn Crescendo" Birch Impasto painting by Niki Gulley

"Autumn Crescendo" ©2014 Niki Gulley • SOLD

36" x 60" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

I wanted this painting to be about the power and energy in nature to invigorate your spirit more so than an exact replica of the forest, so I chose to use warm vivid colors and thick staccato strokes to add to that feeling. I placed the foliage in diagonal sweeping shapes to create a sense of movement, so that you can feel the wind gently rustling the leaves and causing them to dance.

Aspen Tree Painting by Atlanta Artist, Jill Saur

Musing about my love for color this morning, I wrote these words,  "I wear the hues of this world in my soul and share them with others through my art".  

Inspired by the palette of Van Gogh, I've been rendering my new aspen paintings with a combination of blues and yellow/golds.  This little 9"x12" acrylic palette knife painting is titled, "Kebler Pass Aspen".  

I invite you to become a collector and experience the joy of owning artwork that inspires and uplifts your soul.  Email me.  To see more of my available work, please visit my website.

Autumn Aspen Trees painting by Niki Gulley - Just Sold

"Symphony of Colors" ©2013 Niki Gulley

36" x 60" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Just Sold and now hanging in the art collection at Prime Lending in north Dallas!

Shimmering colors of autumn: Aspen and Oak trees quiver, their light graceful leaves tremble and quake, silver and gold, scarlet and tangerine, with each light breeze. There is the quiet energy of change coming and vibrant color charges the woods. Crisp fall mountain air, a band of slender straight trunks cut bright strokes of white against a dazzling tumble of amber and crimson. Staccato strokes and shimmering hues add to the feeling of change in the air and suggest the wind whistling through the foliage.

"Cascading Rhythms" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley

“Cascading Rhythms” ©2011 Niki Gulley

12” x 24” textured oil on canvas

Water pounds its way down the falls: cascading, rushing, charging into the riverbed -- flowing over rocks, swiftly moving forward. Untamed, the water finds its way over, under, around the boulder-strewn river. Tumbling waters drive up mists above the falls, the rhythmic sounds create a soothing harmony below. Autumn’s low light casts long lines through the Aspen trees and glowing verge.
