"15 mph" New Textured Palette Knife oil painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

“15mph” ©2013 Niki Gulley

18" x 24” textured oil painting

This painting is inspired from our trip to Santa Fe last summer. We were driving on the high road to Taos and we kept going over these steep hills where you couldn't see what was coming next. I loved the graphic simplicity of the views with only a sliver of the land in front of us, the vast expanse of sky with its billowing dramatic clouds, and the one lone speed limit sign warning you about the tight curves ahead. Arranging all of the elements so that they converge in the distance and create a sense of motion with curving thick paint strokes, 15 mph beckons you to motor forward and discover what is over the next bend.

This 6x6 is for sale on my website for $125.

The price includes free shipping in US and a 

small display easel.

I worked in my new studio today. Everyday it is even better. Mike builds me little things in the studio. I posted a photo of the drying shelves that he put up for me. The gold ones are an old metal watercolor frame that he took apart and mounted the pieces on the wall. What a great idea. They are sturdy and neat looking.

If you have the opportunity to see the 6" squared show at the Randy Higbee gallery in Costa Mesa, CA, you should go. It looks like an absolutely fabulous show of 300 6x6" paintings. I have 3 in the show. I wish I was there.

The opening is Sat Dec 4 to 8 pm

and Sun Dec 5 12 to 5 pm

Show and Sale

Here is the FB link to some of the paintings. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2094536&id=1267751453&fbid=1669490298271

This is my drying rack for the small paintings, my wrapping and framing station with the wire in the holder that Mike also made for me. The rack is really great. I can see the paintings that I've recently worked on (and tweak them if I need to) instead of placing them in the CD rack that puts them out of view.

Talk to you all later,

#3 sunset painting of 100 series by BECKY JOY

Sky #3 6x6 oil $110. To purchase click here.

The Sky is the Limit, series of 100

Free shipping and display easel with purchase.

The diagonal line in the foreground is offset by the diagonal in the clouds and the tall tree on the left. I kept working on this trying to get the sky light enough, but still enough color in it. In the light parts of the sky I used Cad lemon yellow, cad yellow light, dioxazene purple, ultramarine and cad orange. the clouds have the same colors with the addition of quinacridone rose and cad red light. The foreground is a lot of my left over paint making grays.

I hope to get a larger sunset painted this weekend. I need more in my inventory. These three have already given me ideas for my larger pieces. Come back to view #4 coming up soon.

Skyscape and Tree oil painting by BECKY JOY

WARM LIGHT  6x6 oil on canvas.

To buy this painting for $100. click here.

This is all that I got done today as far as painting (a lot of errands to do today). I did some wiping off of the canvas and starting over. Some days just don't go real easily. I've been going through photos and sketches pondering what to do next for a larger painting. I haven't decided yet. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring some new ideas.

I am now offering these wrought iron display easels free with each small oil study (5x7 or 6x6) purchases. The edges will be finished so that it will not be necessary to frame the paintings. It also gives you another place to display your paintings besides just the walls.

Monsoon season is here in Phoenix. It is really clouding up in the afternoons and more humidity. If you have never seen the summer clouds in the desert, they are magnificent. They are the best thing about summer here.

Just a couple of more days to sign up for my newsletter to be in the monthly drawing for a free oil study.

I'll be posting something else tomorrow. I will absolutely be painting, after I take care of my address on my drivers license. Talk to you all later.
