Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

“Reflections in Time” ©2012 Niki Gulley SOLD • Oil on canvas • 24” x 36” Just sold! This painting is inspired by one of my favorite spots just ten minutes from our home in Dallas. It was a perfect autumn day with a slight breeze and the peaking autumn colors were more vibrant than usual. With such a gentle wind, the vivid foliage and gorgeous fluffy clouds were reflected fairly clearly in the water and yet at the same time, I chose to create fluid moving strokes to suggest the peaceful energy in that moment.

"Choices Await II" ©2011 Niki Gulley SOLD • 18" x 48" textured oil painting Just delivered - a recently completed commissioned painting of a larger version of one of my earlier works. My collector was drawn to the peaceful water theme and liked the idea behind the two piers. Which path should you take? The scene also reminded her of the lake that she goes canoeing on, and the joy and tranquility this special place brings her.

“Time Passages” ©2011 Niki Gulley 12” x 24” textured oil on wrap around canvas Near to sunset at White Rock Lake. Sparkling sunlight peeks through the trees in the late afternoon. Two paths present themselves to you: one is broad – straight forward, comfortable, quick, drawing you into the lowly darks; another path curves and winds, less known, slower, meandering, toward the autumn brightness. Such is life. Which path is yours? It is a delightful dilemma, a problem you will solve by making this one of a kind original oil painting your own. This intriguing art of White Rock Lake and many other paintings by Niki Gulley are available for purchase. To see "Time Passages" and more of Niki Gulley’s textured palette knife oil paintings in person, please stop by her booth at Cottonwood Art Festival next weekend.

“Reflections in Time” ©2010 Niki Gulley Oil on canvas • 24” x 36” This painting is inspired by one of my favorite spots just ten minutes from our home in Dallas. It was a perfect autumn day – about 70° with a slight breeze and the peaking autumn colors were more vibrant than usual. With such a gentle wind, the vivid foliage and gorgeous fluffy clouds were reflected fairly clearly in the water and yet at the same time, I chose to create fluid moving strokes to suggest the peaceful energy in that moment.

“Crimson Sky” ©2010 Niki Gulley Pastel 25” x 19” At long last our summer journeys are coming to an end and we are headed back to Dallas. While I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the mid-west, the east coast and Europe, there’s nothing quite like home. I look forward to riding my bike again around White Rock Lake, enjoying the peacefulness of the water and greenery while watching families reveling in the early days of fall. Then, after watching a beautiful sunset over the lake with the Dallas skyline silhouetted, turning back and heading home. If interested in purchasing “Crimson Sky,” e-mail me at Niki@NikiGulley.com .

"Winter's Calm" ©2009 Niki Gulley pastel 16" x 20" This pastel was inspired by one of our few snowfalls in Dallas a few years ago. I bundled up and ran out with my camera in the morning to capture the moment before the sun melted all of the snow later that day. Having grown up in Chicago, I love the beauty and peacefulness from the first snowfall of the year. I just prefer living here so that it doesn't last more than a day and there's no shoveling involved! Visit my website NikiGulley.com Or e-mail me for more information at Niki@NikiGulley.com.
