   "Prickly Tower" ©2021 Niki Gulley SOLD • 48" x 30" Textured Mixed Media Painting on 1.5" wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges Just Sold!  On a recent trip, we came across these gigantic cacti. I had never seen such a large cactus before and I was awestruck by its age and size. Purposely choosing this angle from below and narrowing the perspective as it stretches to the dramatic clouds drifting by in the sky, you can get a sense of its scale. Filled with vibrant colors and dragging my paint in swirling, diagonal patterns add to the energy and joy of the scene.  For more information on my textured palette knife paintings, please e-mail  Niki Gulley.

                   "Mountains of Color" ©2021 Niki Gulley 20" x 10" textured oil painting on canvas We came across these blossoming cane cholla near Echo Canyon in New Mexico and I was so inspired by their beauty. What a gift from mother nature – not only were the cacti surviving but thriving in the desert climate and yielding such intensely colored fuchsia blooms. Set beneath the craggy mountains and turquoise blue sky, I hope these blossoms lift your spirits and bring the joy of New Mexico's beauty into your home.

"Prickly Tower" ©2020 Niki Gulley 48" x 30" Textured Mixed Media Painting on 1.5" wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges I thought that I would try something a little different when I ran across this huge cactus during a trip to Mexico. It was such an amazing sight for its size and beauty that I wanted to enhance that by choosing a low angle and pushing the perspective. Then all that I needed to do was add those dramatic clouds that were cruising by to complete the effect. For more information on my textured palette knife paintings, please e-mail  Niki Gulley.
