   "Rhythm Reflections" ©2021 Niki Gulley 36" x 60" textured oil painting on canvas I love being immersed in nature. After living in a city surrounded by concrete and noise, I find being surrounded by mother nature to be extremely cathartic, peaceful and rejuvenating. In Rhythm Reflections, I became fascinated with the mirror reflection on the aspen trees in the water below the horizon line. With the lake surface slightly blurring the individual leaves, patterns started emerging that created a sort of rhythm that I found mesmerizing. Working first with thin drippy paint, and then building up thick layers of oil paint with palette knives to achieve extreme dimension, this painting is loaded with movement, energy and color. Leaving the composition slightly abstracted gives you a chance to form your own contemplative narrative with nature.

  "Rhythm Reflections" ©2020 Niki Gulley 36" x 60" textured oil painting on canvas There is nothing like living in a concrete jungle to make you appreciate nature. Being outside and having the natural surrounding envelope you is pure joy. I love looking at reflections, the shimmering quality that it gives everything just adds to the magic. That is what I wanted to capture in this scene, a flow between the real and the perceived real, where I could play with paint through various techniques of thin and thick, along with drips. Leaving things a little abstract allows the viewer to make their own interpretations.  For more information on "Rhythm Reflections," please contact AO5 Gallery at  ao5gallery.com .
