Summer Sunflower Series by Pamela Blaies

I've decided to paint a series of paintings with sunflowers I picked up last week. I'm planning to continue it for as long as they last and they are still hanging in there. I love the effect of hydrangeas in the background. The bright red verbena from my backyard adds to the warm summer color combination. Here are two smaller paintings I just finished.

Ann Arbor Art Fair this weekend

"Dreams Revisited" ©2012 Niki Gulley
36" x 48" textured mixed media on wrap around canvas

In this painting I wanted to create a dream-like feel using one of my favorite flowers, the poppy, so I chose to paint this landscape at dusk as the sun is starting to set over the distant hills to add to that mood. I love the wildflower masses in the foreground creating waves of color, and the curving shapes adding to the sense of tranquility.

Aspen Trees by Jill Saur

"Aspen Dance" is one of my new oil paintings (8"x8").  I rendered this
using a palette knife.  I closed my eyes and mused on one of my trips to 
Colorado, where the blue azure sky against the dancing white aspen trees 
ignite a flame of inspiration.

"Passage of Illumination" large textured oil painting by Niki Gulley


“Passage of Illumination” ©2012 Niki Gulley
48” x 60” textured oil on canvas

Wander down this path that beckons you and lift your eyes heavenward to that cobalt vault lined by a rainbow of vivid greens and golds and gleaming crimson, purposely choosing these warm vibrant colors to suggest a hopeful future. Like an ancient chorus these joyful trees sing with dazzling colors, a call and respond to each other across the enticing path that traces verses of light and dark, hue and color, an alluring siren song leading you into the depths of this radiant, vanishing horizon. A painting rich in color and light, joy and energy its double bowed composition gently leads gently you into this magical, blissful destination.

Original oil painting Horse equine abstract and Hummingbird Dance by Karen Tarlton

 Two brand new 6x6 Oil paintings!

I saw another a hummingbird today while I was trimming the salvia plant our new garden that has grown unruly. Always a good omen a hummingbird. I hesitated cutting the blossoms because the bird loves them but the bush was too large.
I bought tomatoes, strawberries, peas, peppers, a bunch of herbs and even a rasberry plant and I'll take some photos when I get them in the ground tomorrow.
I'm so excited about finally having a a spot to grow some vegies!

Daily Painting 1436 Savanna Moonrise

Its oil on masonite, 5 x 7 inches.  I had a good time with this one, I both paintbrush and palette knife on it.  $100.

A Little Ray of Sunshine by Pamela Blaies

oil on canvas
11" x 14"

I was immediately taken by the lighting and, of course, these precious girls in their fluffy, white dresses. My little cousin, Grace, is a ray of sunshine for her family. They have been going through an incredibly difficult time due to the sudden passing of her baby brother at just 5 months of age. My heart goes out to them. I know they love art, so I painted this as a special gift for them.

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

Blue Hydrangea Bird Bath by Roxanne Steed

8"x8" oil on archival panel
For more information about this painting, follow this link, or contact me here.
My back yard is a haven for birds of all kinds. 
They seem to love it and we love having them here.
We trade a few small luxuries all the time, food for song....
water for brilliant flashes of color. 
So far, it's a great relationship!

The Wedge by Deborah Harold

At the end of the peninsula in Newport Beach, Ca. 
there is an unusual spot where the waves break off the jetty and come in at an angle, 
forming a wedge. Body surfers love this place when the waves are "pumping".
Red flag means huge waves, crowds line the beach to marvel at the beautiful waves and 
to watch the body surfers brave this fierce act of nature.

Just Sold! "Culmination" by Niki Gulley


"Culmination" ©2012 Niki Gulley
SOLD • Three 48" x 30" canvases to form a 48" x 90" triptych
textured mixed media on wrap around canvas

Just Sold through my Dallas Gallery, American Fine Art! 
I decided it would be a fun challenge to create an extremely large painting, and I wanted the final piece to be very uplifting, colorful and full of energy. Opting for warm colors and working with extremely thick paint and palette knives, I chose this lily pond reference from our visit to Monet's Gardens in Giverny, France. The grounds were breathtaking and I could actually see his paintings come to life. I was drawn to the energetic flow and yet calming serenity in this view, and I positioned the water lilies and my paint strokes in a circular pattern to add to that mood. The morning light peeking through the distant foliage added to a sense of mystery and promise that I wanted to capture in paint, and share with you that feeling of hope.

This painting and more of Niki Gulley's textured landscape paintings are on exhibit at American Fine Art Gallery in Dallas. See americanfineart.com for details.

"Afternoon Fun" after EH Potthast


"Afternoon Fun" after EH Potthast
(4x4") - 201217

Subscribe now to receive my newsletter, "Even More". 
Bon voyage..... At last, our summer vacation has arrived!  We'll be heading out tomorrow morning; returning next weekend. I will not be bringing my painting equipment, but will have my camera close by.  This is one of the years we'll go to Anna Maria Island here in Florida.  PLENTY of beach scenes!
All I'm bringing is my suit, hat, sunscreen & flip flops.  Oh - a beach chair too (critical). Today's painting was all about cadmium yellow.  It's a tricky one, to be sure.  For me anyway.  It rather goes along with the last study I did of Potthast (below), Balloon Vendor.  Though this time I really wanted to explore what cool, cold weather light looks like.  This too is on gesso board.  I'm loving it!


Don't forget - if you happen to be in the Orlando area during the month of July, you can see my paintings in person at Steinway Piano Gallery (SEE BELOW ANNOUNCEMENT FOR INFO).  There will be an artists' reception on Thursday July 12th, from 6-9.  It's not likely that I will be able to be there, but I will have a 'spokesperson' there to talk to.  I can also meet people by appointment anytime after July 16th. 


There's much in the works lately, and though you haven't heard from me in over a week, rest assured I am working away at organizing my upcoming year.  Workshop Survey will hopefully go out tonight.  However - as you know, I am known to have a hard time doing things exactly when I hope too.
Anyone who has recently asked, I've put you on the list of artists who are interested and you will be part of the survey.  I want to get some idea of where and when the vast majority of folks would be able to attend.

Unless otherwise noted, listed prices are offered to my subscribed blog members. If you are interested in purchasing a painting, but are not yet subscribed, simply enter your email address in the join box on my home page. As a subscriber you will receive special values on your purchases and periodic promotions will give you the opportunity to enjoy my paintings in real life at even more affordable prices!
