Original oil painting New Orleans Starry Night by Karen Tarlton

Jackson Square New Orleans Starry Night

24x36

Oil

Just recently finished this commission.

She requested Jackson Square Van Gogh style!

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter whose work, notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color, had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art

He is a personal favorite of mine and has influenced my art as well.

This painting is of an olive grove in the Alpilles, a region which stretches from Avignon in northern Provence to the Camargue in the south. The countryside has great natural beauty, with the vegetation including scrubby bushes, pine forests, oaks and vineyards as well as olive trees. Here and there alleys of cypresses lead up to restored bastides or dry stone farms, as in the painting.

New Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

36" x 48" textured painting on wrap around canvas

Sun Drenched III was inspired by our trip to Provence, France last summer. Our timing was perfect and the sunflowers and lavender were in full bloom. While we came across many fields of lavender, we had to search a little harder for sunflowers. Of course that meant sampling more of the local cuisine and wines for much needed fuel as we looked! (My husband likes to say we have to suffer four our art.)

When we eventually came across these sunflowers, I knew immediately they would make a perfect painting. Their bright, smiling faces as big as dinner plates, the sun dappled path leading you deep into the golden field to the quaint stone farmhouse in the distance, and a beautiful summer day with a few peaceful clouds drifting by made for the ideal subject. The resulting painting is so full of color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece immediately lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

If you're in Dallas this weekend, please stop by my booth at Richardson's Cottonwood Art Festival where I will be exhibiting, or you can always drop by my Dallas gallery this summer, American Fine Art, americanfineart.com/.

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.
