  “Spring's Tapestry" ©2020 Niki Gulley SOLD • 24" x 36" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas Just Sold through the Good Art Company!  In this Texas wildflower series, I wanted to capture the excitement and energy felt during a beautiful day in April when the bluebonnets and wildflowers are painting the horizon in gorgeous shades of blue, reds and golds.  Driving through the Hill Country late one day, the sun was just starting to drop, casting this golden hue across all of the wildflowers it hit causing them to glow and dance in the warm light.
