Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.

I love the randomness of plants and flowers, the way the leaves and stems intersect into negative shapes of light and dark and create patterns that are always elegant, always symmetrical. Mother Nature is the most gifted artist, and she invites us to emulate her comfort with earth and dirt colors, with broken leaves and faded petals.

New Sunflower Painting and Upcoming Provence Art Trek with Niki Gulley

24" x 12" • textured oil on canvas

Inspired by our trip to Provence last summer, I was awestruck by these massive fields of sunflowers blooming. Seeing this brilliant carpet of gold, with its sea of faces smiling towards the sun, just made me feel happy and I wanted you to experience that joy, too. In person "Sharing the Sun" practically leaps off the canvas with its vibrant yellow petals and extremely thick three-dimensional oil paint.

Next summer we will be leading an Art Trek to Paris June 19-27 and Provence, France June 26-July 4, so if you've always dreamed of painting, photographing and sightseeing during lavender and sunflower season in France, and following in the footsteps of Monet, Van Gogh and Cezanne, please join us for this amazing trip! The early registration deadline of Sept. 28th for a $600 savings is quickly approaching. For more details, visit nikigulley.com/artreks.

To purchase "Sharing the Sun," please contact the Good Art Company Gallery at goodartcompany.com/gac/.

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.

Beginnings of a Pulled Painted Ponies... Contemporary Horse paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

A pulled Painted Pony in Progress... Night Runner

12 x 18 inches Oil on Canvas.

Well, I was going to pull straight through, but Terry walked in and was ready to leave for a Whole Foods run. I do not like to miss those at all.

I was into a lavender and prussian blue mood as I began to pull this small version of the Painted Ponies. These horses are tied to my heart and have been since 2006. See the finished painting tomorrow.

Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope, Lord, is in you. Psalm 25:20-21

"I am a Patriot" Original Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

This is the first painting from many photos that I took while in Washington DC this summer. The flag was located between the Lincoln and Vietnam Veterans Memorials and has the smaller POW flag below. I've always wanted to do a painting of our flag, and this felt like the perfect one to try. Doesn't it look strong and proud?

It was so great finally seeing all of the important structures and memorials in DC after having taught about them for so many years. Looking forward to taking our boys when they get a bit older. Of course one of my favorite parts was the afternoon I spent at The National Gallery of Art browsing around and absorbing as much history as I could there as well.

30 day daily painting challenge event

30 Days hath September Challenge

18x24cm oil on canvas panel

I am taking part in Leslie Seata's blog challenge to paint a daily painting each day in September. I am already running behind and I haven't organised my self at all. I had family over all summer long and the last ones left yesterday.
I painted this quite quickly this morning to get me into the swing of things. I may do some more on this one later, but I am liking the effect.

I am not sure if I will do a theme or just go with the flow each day. I still have to catalogue my 101 garden series, and I am not even sure of how many I painted, but I do know that I improved as time went on and lost my fear of 'just going for it'.
It was fun to do, although frustrating at times.
Here are a couple of my garden 101 paintings

I am an American artist and I host a TV Art Instruction show where I teach studio oil painting and plein air painting in the Impressionist style. I also teach other artists how to paint through oil painting workshops and art instruction CDs and DVDs. My Impressionist plein air landscapes, still life compositions, portraits and figure paintings have been represented through prominent galleries for more than 20 years. My paintings are in corporate collections including the City of Irvine, Sears, Standard Oil, and Coca Cola. My work is often seen in leading art publications like Southwest Art, Art & Antiques, American Art Review, American Art Collector, Art Calendar and others. I am a former president of the Orange Art Association and past member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association and Southern California Plein Air Painters Association. On my Daily Painter blog I offer affordable small original oil paintings to introduce my work to new and ongoing collectors. Much of my work these days is done on a private commission basis, and I welcome inquiries. Thanks for looking.

Ann Gorbett

is an award winning artist who paints exclusively with a palette knife. She holds a fine art degree and has worked as a professional graphic designer for many years. She began painting in oil again after taking a palette knife workshop through the Copley Society of Art in Boston and was immediately hooked. The thick, painterly, yet highly detailed strokes of color are trademarks of her style.

Beginnings of Making Headway Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Very Beginnings Making Headway

16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas. Available

I am always sketching and referring back to sketches that really pull to me when I am working. I did not know which sketch I would use at this point as I began to put colors in the background. Note I am working horizontally as I block in color. I have to trust in the spirit of the paint as it builds. It ended up going vertical. This is a 16 x 20 painting, small for me but more affordable to collect.

Truly we have no control in our lives either. We think things are 'horizontal'...but they turn out 'vertical'. Only God knows and until you trust in Him, you life cannot be filled with His grace or His peace.

Great peace have those who love your law,
and nothing can make them stumble. Psalm 119:65

Labor Day Break? by Pamela Blaies

Texas Lilacs and Lemon Slices

24" x 18"

oil on linen

I am enjoying spending time with my family this weekend. Mostly fun time, but today we are working on cleaning out the garage together. WAIT! Isn't Labor Day supposed to be a day to take a break from labor? Oh well, it's fun doing it together! Speaking of satisfying labor, this painting is one I finished last week. My focus on creating a more loose feel in my work is really inspiring me. It requires a careful consideration of edges and thoughtful placement of brushstrokes.

I love to share my art and inspiration. Click HERE to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards.

My goal is to deliberate the balance of representation and design. I am particularly moved by artists who are able to take abstraction further, offering more information with less detail. My work is not to reconstruct or comment on social, natural or cultural reality. While I have great respect for artists who do, I think my path has been towards the creation of studies of time and place using an acute understanding of design and color theory. I believe my work is expressionistic and is differentiated by the unique and arbitrary layering of complex colors. I am directed by the fundamentals of interior design and elements of design, especially intrigued by light. I am powered by my own highly personal vision and I encourage people who view my work to consider my process of decision-making. It is a course that is followed without hesitation and from which; I am not able to deviate. A day of successful painting is it the best of days. It is a selfish endeavor. I wish for the viewer to arrive at a personal determination, framed in their own experiences and therefore, apart from reference, I prefer not to name my work.

Plein Air Painting in Tuscany with Niki Gulley

24" x 12" • Textured Mixed Media on canvas

This painting was inspired by one of our plein air painting workshops in Tuscany. I've always been attracted to this lone clump of cypress trees, and on this day the clouds in the sky parted just enough to allow the sun's rays to pass through and illuminate the cypress grove below. I decided to have fun with the colors to add to the excitement and drama of the moment.

"Breaking Through" and several of Niki's contemporary impressionistic landscapes are on display at the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX. For more information, please contact goodartcompany.com/gac/.

"Elephant Surfer" Original Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

I have been busy doing a few commissioned pieces this past month. This piece is the third painting of elephants for this collector. The first two were a front and rear view in bright greens, blues, and yellows. For the last piece he wanted an image showing his son surfing an elephant. You know I am always thrilled to do elephant paintings and really appreciated the cool idea!

Looking forward to seeing the three pieces together in a custom frame the owner will make himself.

Pink Hollyhocks was inspired by a Utah garden last week during a plein air painting trip to the mountains with girlfriends. What a fabulous week we had hiking along rivers and painting amidst the aspens. I didn't spot any bears this year, but we did see a moose and her baby one morning. She returned later the same evening much closer to our cabin, and I got a video of her I'll share in my next art newsletter! I'm told a mama moose can be very aggressive, so I was the first one back to the cabin when she made her encore appearance.

White Runner Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

White Runner

16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas.

Well it is at the 'hang around the studio stage. Still need to shoot it in good light. Finished it after dark and you never can get a good photo of it. This is definitely at contemporary horse painting. Brush and not knife but full of spunk, life and spirit... life on the run you might say.

Unburdened by 'stuff' and 'people'.

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn bush will grow the juniper,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.” Psalm 55:12-13
