Three new little 6x6 inch gems.
I love painting small sometimes because it allows for so much intense
color and rich thick paint.....fun, fun, fun, like icing a cake!
Delicious color.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Blue Paintings
I like to post on facebook, as I am sure many of you do too. I started a group called "Online Artists" to give self-representing artists another place to post their work. Every week I "suggest" a theme for the artists to follow, although it is not mandatory by any means. A few times, the theme has been a specific color, which I really enjoyed. So today, I decided to post "blue" paintings for you here.
I really had fun with this textured piece!
What is it about oriental culture that is so fascinating?
A view of the intracoastal waterway in Grant Florida. This is close to my home.
A view of our neighbor's farm in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. One of the most beautiful scenes on earth, I have painted this farm dozens of times.
The mountains are absolutely gorgeous when the sun comes up and burns off the morning mist.
A Florida sky. The coastal areas are often filled with fluffy clouds as the afternoon hot air from the west collides with the cool sea breezes from the east.
I love to set objects on my windowsill in front of these cool shadows from a palm tree.
From my antique bottle collection.
I had to put a seascape in here somewhere!
Well, that's it for celebrating blue today! I hope you will join us on facebook. Just go to your account and search for Online Artists. We would love to have you join in the fun.
I hope you have BLUE skies today.

Daily Painting, "Sailor's Delight" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil, SOLD
We were anchored in the middle of Florida's Intracoastal waterway, watching these small boats, complete their course. The regatta was in full swing.
The perfect way to spend a summer day.

Plein Air Painting at White Rock Lake
5" x 7" textured oil painting, White Rock Lake, by Niki Gulley
Day 2 - Afternoon Location: Sunset Bay, White Rock Lake
In the afternoon at White Rock Lake, we switched locations to find better light on our subjects. Everyone was drawn to this peaceful bay and the vibrant fall colors. Even though every painter basically sketched the same scene, it was fun seeing each artist's individual style come thorugh. With just a short amount of time left at the end of the day, I quickly captured the lake, shoreline and autumn foliage with a palette knife and my leftover paint before starting our critique.
A perfect ending to our plein air painting workshop at the Dallas Arboretum and White Rock Lake – sharing our work from each day with new friends after a gorgeous weekend of painting outside. Thanks guys!

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.

Painting at White Rock Lake with Niki Gulley
9" x 12" oil painting, White Rock Lake, by Niki Gulley
Dallas Plein Air Painting Workshop with Niki Gulley
Day 2 - Morning Location: White Rock Lake
On the second day of our plein-air painting workshop, we enjoyed a beautiful morning at White Rock Lake. Focusing on capturing water and the morning light, each painter picked a different vantage point, some choosing only natural subjects and others depicting sailboats on the horizon. I chose to paint these colorful boats largely for their vibrant colors and I liked how the line of the pier leads your eye back to the docked vessels. With a gentle breeze, the water had a little movement and shimmer to it that I suggested along with the vibrant foliage in this peaceful inlet. A perfect autumn morning!
