“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. To see this painting in person, visit my booth at the Cottonwood Art Festival in Richardson, TX this weekend, CottonwoodArtFestival.com. Or, e-mail me at Niki@NikiGulley.com for more information.

"Meadow of Sunshine" ©2010 Niki Gulley oil on canvas • 30" x 40" I wanted this painting to be real loose and fun, so that you could almost feel the breeze blowing across the wildflowers and making the rows of colors dance.

"Harvesting Sunshine" ©2010 Niki Gulley 30" x 48" oil on canvas Here is one of the new large pieces I've been working on this winter. I wanted to paint something bright and happy that would always cause you to smile when you looked at it. In person the painting really leaps off the canvas both because of its bright colors and also the extremely thick oil paint I used. Working with the paint in more a sculptural-like manner, I was able to develop a sense of three-dimensionality and movement. Please stop by the Frisco Art Festival this weekend to see and feel this piece in person. I'd love to see you there! Visit NikiGulley.com for more details. E-mail: Niki@NikiGulley.com.

10" x 8" oil painting by Niki Gulley Santorini, Greece A quick study of a quintessential Greek Island view. Visit my website at NikiGulley.com Or e-mail me for more information at Niki@NikiGulley.com.

"Inside Looking Out" - Greek Islands 10" x 8" oil painting by Niki Gulley Here is another painting from Greece on one of the less touristy islands, Milos. We found this quiet off-the-beaten-path beach. I thought this building was interesting with its simple curves and color, and I liked how it framed the gorgeous blue ocean in the background. The contrasts between the stark sun-bleached white walls and its strong midday shadows also caught my attention and I had to paint it.
