Admiration 36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Still Life Floral still life paintings are a favorite of mine to paint.  Admiration was painted in a couple of days...it was one of those paintings that the process was fun and exciting and I couldn't put my brush down.  Mixing piles and piles of oils allowed me to paint with muted colors in this still life.  The muddy or dirty colors are all harmonious, with subtle shifts of colors.  The free-form lines and shapes of the background are light and airy in contrast to the flowers in the foreground.  A wide flat brush and palette knife were used to paint this canvas, which is hanging at  Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas .  Thanks for looking at this blog....

"Triple Passion" ©2015 Niki Gulley SOLD •  48" x 24" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas I love the passion and energy in the color red, so I thought it would be fun to play with the still life I had set up of roses and make a painting where red was the dominant color.  In person, seeing these roses at life size, I wanted the viewer to be swept up in the movement and emotion of this piece. Utilizing flowing spirals, weaving back and forth, playful thick and thin paint in bold, loose strokes, ruby petals emerging and disappearing, all meant to tease and excite your senses.
