  “Along the Shoreline” ©2021 Niki Gulley 14" x 18” textured oil painting on canvas Early on a fall morning the sun breaks softly through leafy branches and casts early autumn’s palette across the creek. Silent water is ruffled by a gentle breeze. Arching over, bending into the quiet waters, a tree arches into the scene – encompassing, embracing. This painting captures the dreamy reflections and tranquil landscape of one of my favorite spots to paint on location near my home. It is painted in the traditional plein air oil manner, incorporating some heavy texture with palette knife.

LBJ Ranch 8" x 16" Oil on Panel This small painting was inspired by a Hill Country trip last spring.  On a driving tour of the LBJ Ranch I  took some great pictures of the cattle.   I wanted to get the colors right on this painting, and not get fussy on the details.  The Texas landscape is beautiful on the ranch and the cattle are amazing.  This is painting #2 in the  30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge! Thanks for looking at this blog.... Have a good and safe holiday. Kay

Texas Color Series #1 oil on canvas 18"x18" The Artists of Texas are busy getting ready for their annual show at the Dutch Art Gallery! This is one of many paintings that will be in our show. It's inspired by shots I took from the backseat of my car with my Iphone, while husband was driving from Dallas to Austin. The photos were blurry and not great quality but I was trying to capture the beautiful colors of the Texas prairie grass. web: susanmoss.com email: susan@susanmoss.com

I remember the first time I saw a massive field of bluebonnets and I was awestruck by the expanse of color. It was amazing that such tiny flowers when planted in mass could form a solid sea of blue. I wanted to relive those fond memories of spending time with my grandma and grandpa, while also recreating the exciting wildflower displays I remember seeing for the first time as a kid in Rhapsody in Blue. Using this interesting weathered farm house in Marble Falls and painting it engulfed in one of our best bluebonnet and Indian Paintbrush displays perfectly captures those memories. To see more of my Texas wildflower paintings, stop by the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas this Saturday for the "Artists of Texas" reception from 1-5.
