SOLD • 30" x 48" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Inspired by a trip to Provence, I was awestruck by these massive fields of sunflowers blooming and the vibrant red poppies growing at their feet.

Palette Knife Red Roses oil painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

12" x 12" Red Roses by Niki Gulley

 textured oil painting on canvas 

I painted these roses from the still life with extremely thick paint and palette knife. The resulting canvas is loaded with texture, color and energy! I've painted it on 1 and 1/2 inch deep stretcher bars, with the image continuing around the edges so that it can be hung as is frameless for a contemporary look. 

This floral looks great hung alone to brighten up a little spot, or in a grouping with some of my other contemporary flower paintings. Hang them horizontally, vertically, on a diagonal or stacked.

E-mail Niki Gulley for more information on this piece or to find out about complimentary companion paintings.

Red Roses Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

"Triple Passion" ©2013 Niki Gulley

textured oil painting on wrap around canvas
Can be hung horizontally 24" x 48" or vertically 48" x 24"

I love the passion and energy in the color red, so I thought it would be fun to play with the still life I had set up of roses and make a painting where red was the dominant color.  In person, seeing these roses at life size, I wanted the viewer to be swept up in the movement and emotion of this piece. Utilizing flowing spirals, weaving back and forth, playful thick and thin paint in bold, loose strokes, ruby petals emerging and disappearing, all meant to tease and excite your senses.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Niki Gulley.

Rose Care Tip by Pamela Blaies

Heirloom Pinks

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

Love these Heirloom garden roses I found at the market! The way the petals curl inward toward the center is so charming. I put them in this footed glass bowl which perfectly shows them off. I am keeping ice cubes in their water, so they won't open up too fast (warm water makes them open up sooner) and hopefully I will be able paint them for several more days.

Pick of the Day by Pamela Blaies

Bashful

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

This red rose came from my garden. I placed it in the bud vase facing away from me, because I liked the way the leaves turned. It almost looks shy, so I named it Bashful. I was excited that yesterday it was chosen as the Facebook Pick of the Day by DailyPaintworks - Yea!

"Embracing Possibilities" New Gerber Daisy painting by Niki Gulley

"Embracing Possibilities" ©2013 Niki Gulley

36" x 48" textured oil painting

I wanted to paint something bright, happy and graphic that would always cause you to smile when you looked at it, and these colorful Gerber Daisies were the perfect flower to do just that. Purposely choosing vivid warm colors for the flowers and the background, with complimentary lime and emerald greens for contrast, suggest the joyful, uplifting mood I wanted to convey. Working from the still life and arranging the flowers in a diagonal pattern, imply a playfulness and energy, while painting the Gerbers larger than life and against an uncluttered background add dramatic impact.

I had so much fun working on this one. The combination of warm transparent colors, coolness of daisies and the bright sunflowers makes this painting sing. This bouquet radiates a feeling of HAPPINESS.

I am also working on finalizing the date for my July workshop. Looks like July 21 or 28 are currently open. Safe Haven for Cats have graciously agreed to let me use their facility. Who knows, we might even paint a kitty....
