Pasture 14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Palette Knife Painting This abstract painting allows the imagination to take over where I left off.  I wanted a horizon that faded into the background and a foreground that implied a large open field.  The greys, lavenders and greens all work well together, creating a harmonious painting.  There is texture on the surface since I used a palette knife.  This painting is part of a series of fourteen 14" x 14" landscapes.  Contact  Kay  for more information on this painting or any of the art posted here.  Thanks for viewing....Kay

“Dreams Revisted” ©2011 Niki Gulley 36” x 48” textured acrylic on canvas In this painting I wanted to create a dream-like feeling using one of my favorite flowers, the poppy, so I chose to paint this landscape at dusk as the sun is starting to set over the distant hills to add to that mood. I love the wildflower masses in the foreground creating waves of color, and the curving shapes adding to the sense of tranquility. I was mesmerized what the cinematography in the movie “What Dreams May Come” and my painting reminded me a little of those magical graphics, so I decided to title my piece the same.

“Cascading Rhythms” ©2011 Niki Gulley 12” x 24” textured oil on canvas Water pounds its way down the falls: cascading, rushing, charging into the riverbed -- flowing over rocks, swiftly moving forward. Untamed, the water finds its way over, under, around the boulder-strewn river. Tumbling waters drive up mists above the falls, the rhythmic sounds create a soothing harmony below. Autumn’s low light casts long lines through the Aspen trees and glowing verge. Or, e-mail Niki Gulley for more information on her contemporary landscape paintings. See NikiGulley.com .
