"A Garden Tour" i.

This was a commissioned painting. My friend wanted me to paint a portrait of her late brother to give to his wife on her birthday.  The photo was from 1955, I had a lot of help from a few Veterans to figure out the patches as the photo was not too clear. I worked from two photos to create the painting. It was one of the more difficult commissions I have done, but am honored that she asked me to take it on. www.melissaatorresart.com Facebook Contact me @  MATArt75@gmail.com

"Where Paths Meet" ©2012 Niki Gulley SOLD • 36" x 48" textured oil painting Just delivered.   One of my new collectors asked me to create a painting for his wife based on one of her photos of a forest preserve in the Chicago area. I was excited to paint this custom piece for them since I've always loved tree scenes. I liked how the distinct curving lines along the path and rickety fence lead you deep into the woods. Playing with autumn golds and oranges contrasted against intense blues and purples in the shadows, I created energetic strokes with my palette knife to create web of texture in the distant tangled branches and dense falling leaves in the foreground. The final painting is full of movement, color and depth and was exactly what my new collectors were looking for!

"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.
