"Treehouse" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

My boys and I were playing out in the snow the other day, and I looked up and noticed this beautiful shadow on the front of our house. The morning sun was shining golden, with all of these amazing purple shadows of the tree and their footprints all over the yard... It took my breath away.

New Monet's Water Lilies Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

Just Shipped - For this commissioned painting, my collectors fell in love with my water lily paintings, but I didn't have a size canvas that would work for their living room, so they asked me to create a custom piece that was 48" x 48". Using thick textured oil paint and palette knives, this water lily pond inspired from our travels to Monet's Garden, is filled with color, movement, energy and dimension.

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.

Impulse by Kay Wyne

Impulse

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Abstract Painting

I started this painting on impulse....just to throw

paint on the canvas after working on commissions

during the month of December. My studio mates

have asked me what it is, and I honestly don't know.

One of my fellow artists said it looked like cactus,

another said flowers, and the one that makes

the most sense to me was the aerial view of

a golf course. I was working with Sharon's

piles of paint since they were going to go to

waste and dry up. It felt good to just stand in

front of the easel and paint for the sake of

painting. The colors and shapes were put on

the canvas...hopefully to make an interesting

canvas that will bring a smile to your face!

This is painting #2 in the

I will be back in the studio today working

on painting #3! Thanks, Kay

So I am cheating and posting this chrysanthemum still life painting that was part of the November Wetcanvas.com floral and botanical forum challenge. It does fit, more or less, into the challenge to my self this month, to push my painting style further.

FIRST PLEIN AIR PAINTING OF 2014 by TOM BROWN, 8x10 INCH ORIGINAL OIL

Life can offer surprises when you least expect it. On New Year’s Day I always like to get outside early and paint whatever catches my eye for my first plein air painting of the New Year.

I recalled a scenic vista where I had painted long ago, but when I arrived this time it had vanished. It is about to become a housing development. The land has been cleared and graded; the pristine scenery has been destroyed.

But I saw possibilities in what remained. The lighting and interplay of color and shapes caught my eye and seemed to have promise.

I recalled the old saying about lemons and decided to see what I could do with this. I was quite pleased with the results. I guess beauty can be found everywhere if only we look for it. I think that should be my motto for the New Year; find the beauty everywhere.

I wish you a Beautiful New Year filled with pleasant surprises.

Thanks for looking.

New Autumn Path Palette Knife Oil Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

SOLD • 40" x 30" textured oil painting

Just Delivered - For this commissioned painting, my collectors asked me to create something special for them which would bring back fond memories. They love hiking and nature, and here in Dallas, they have a particular fondness for the Arboretum. Using thick textured oil paint with palette knives, I created this Arboretum fall path so that it is filled with color and dappled light, mystery and romanticism, and texture and energy!

"China" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

This month I am participating in a 30 days of painting challenge through a wonderful artist that I took a workshop with last March called Leslie Saeta. There are hundreds of artists participating; it will be awesome to see all of the entries each day!

This painting was commissioned as a Christmas gift. The recipient took the photo while on vacation in China, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to paint it. I am so drawn to structures like this, although it was definitely a challenge!

I painted most of this painting from a blurred image so I wouldn't become too overwhelmed in the details. Later I went back and added in the individual posts and rails; this was so helpful. I will have to say that it is paintings like this that help grow one's confidence and push us as artists.

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Abstract Painting
Day 1 in the 30 Paintings/30 Days Challenge

This palette knife painting evolved with some wonderful

colors from Sharon's loaded palette. She left town and I

couldn't leave the piles of paint sitting in the studio just to

dry up. So I got my palette knife out and started scraping

her glass palette, putting the juicy oils on my canvas.

Since today is New Years, I titled it "Forward"....I am

looking forward to 2014. This is also painting #1 in the

30 Day challenge.....Happy New Year! Kay
