New "Survivor" Palette Knife Oil Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

24” x 18" textured oil painting

From our travels, I have become fascinated with the textures, hues and extreme variety we encounter in different terrains. This lone tree thriving in such a rocky, environment serves as a testament to the power and mystery found in nature. Softened bark from the desert winds contrasts against the jagged rock formation, givinig you a glimpse into nature’s strength.

For more information on my textured palette knife oil paintings, please e-mail me at Niki Gulley.

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.

Aspen Trees by Jill Saur

"Aspen Dance" is one of my new oil paintings (8"x8"). I rendered this

using a palette knife. I closed my eyes and mused on one of my trips to

Colorado, where the blue azure sky against the dancing white aspen trees

ignite a flame of inspiration.

This piece is for sale by contacting me at www.JillSaur.com.

Thank you for viewing! - Jill

Aspen Art

Aspens in the fall are a site to behold. This painting was inspired by a trip to Colorado with my wonderful sister. Aspen trees are amongst the oldest living organisms on the planet and they can grow a new tree from their root ball. I love the symbolism they carry and the beauty they hold for those walk amongst them.

This painting, "Autumn Green", is an original acrylic on canvas and measures 11"x14". It has texture in the trees and foliage and has a lovely warm glow when the lights are dimmed.

This one is available by contacting me through my website. Thank you for viewing.
