Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

  "Flowing into Spring" ©2022 Niki Gulley SOLD • 24" x 12" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas, framed in an espresso floater frame Just Sold!  I painted this scene from the Dallas Arboretum on location when the weather was beautiful and the spring buds were in full bloom. I love tulips being one of the first flowers to announce that winter has officially ended, so I focused on these colorful red and white striped ones in the foreground, which contrast so well against the complimentary green leaves and grasses. I also liked how their height leads you back into the distant flower beds and onto the Degolyer house in the background, so I chose this vertical panorama format to accentuate that feeling. Loaded with thick oil paint, texture and movement, I hope you can feel the joy that spring is in the air! For more details on my other Texas paintings, please e-mail  Niki Gulley.

  "Rhapsody in Bloom II" ©2022 Niki Gulley 20" x 20" textured oil painting I painted these cheerful tulips from life in my backyard garden. With all of our rain this year, I had a bumper crop and wanted to capture the joy I felt seeing them signaling that winter was finally over and spring had begun! Created with palette knife and thick paint, this piece is bursting with color and texture. Blurring out the background, you can focus on each individual flower. Creating a circular composition within the square format creates a harmony and flow, while unblended diagonal marks add to the energy and happiness of the moment. I hope these tulips brighten your day and lift your spirits, too. *** E-mail  Niki Gulley  for more information on my tulip and contemporary floral paintings.

  "Flowing into Spring" ©2021 Niki Gulley 24" x 12" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas, framed in an espresso floater frame The Arboretum in Dallas is such an amazing resource for us that I can't help but take advantage of it. They always have a spectacular display of tulips announcing that spring has arrived and it is time to put away your winter clothing. I chose this spot with the variegated tulips set against the rows of flowers, along with the Degolyer house in the distance in order to give the composition a sense of scale.

"Visions of Azaleas" ©2020 Niki Gulley 24" x 12" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas, framed in an espresso floater frame Painted on location, I set up my easel in front of these prolific azalea bushes along Turtle Creek near my home. The vibrant pinks and fuchsia were so full of life set against the cool green leaves, that I wanted to capture not only that vivid spring color but also the elegant sycamore tree in the distance with its speckled white bark.  Contrasting the height of the vertical tree against the horizontal blooms, I chose this vertical panoramic canvas, and repeating shapes throughout creates a harmony to the overall scene. Painted with palette knife and lots of texture, I hope you can feel the beauty and energy of a perfect spring day. "Visions of Azaleas" along with several of my contemporary impressionistic landscape paintings are available through  my gallery, the Good Art Company, in Fredericksburg, TX at  ...
