“Survival Instinct” ©2013 Niki Gulley 24” x 18” textured oil painting From our travels, I have become fascinated with the textures, hues and extreme variety we encounter in different terrains. This lone tree surviving in such a rocky, arid environment serves as a testament to the power and mystery found in nature. Painted with palette knife and extremely thick oil paint, this painting is loaded with dimension, color and energy! E-mail Niki Gulley for more information on her contemporary landscape paintings.

Red Rocks of SEDONA   Ahhhh....the lazy days of summer are finally behind us (or should I say,  Suddenly behind us ! It was a fast, but wonderfully mild few months; I enjoyed my family - husband, daughters, granddaughters and grandson.  Painting slipped by the wayside, but... it's BACK again !   And time to get serious ;)   Or to have more fun!   What to paint next!   Ever since our trip to Sedona in May, I have been contemplating what to paint .  This is the one I started with... Makes me want to go back! Actual Photo
