Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

30" x 30” textured oil painting  ©2017 Niki Gulley  • SOLD Just shipped! I was commissioned to paint this cheerful sunflower painting for a family in central Texas. Huge sunflowers fill the fields, bright, sunny and cheerful. Warm golden petals glow above purple shadows and shimmer before violet hills, just as the sun begins to set filling the sky with radiant gold. Bold strokes capture these sunflowers in thick impasto colors that vibrate across the canvas, all designed to add joy and color to their home.

Early Spring Bouquet 16" x 20" oil on linen My neighbors planted some Carolina Jessamine (aka Carolina Jasmine) on the other side of our fence. Every spring I look forward to the vines climbing over and spilling loads of cheery, yellow blossoms onto my side of the fence. I can see them from my kitchen window and they are one of the first signs of spring in my yard. The flowers are so prolific, I can snip off 5 or 6 pieces of vine a day for several weeks without making a dent. I arranged a bouquet of them yesterday and they are stunning in this hand-blown blue glass vase. I love to share my art and inspiration.
