Wildflowers Galore 20" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Linen Contemporary Landscape Painting Bold colors, lots of texture and layers and layers of oils....I was experimenting with some color combinations and mixing my paints on several palettes...running out of a mixing surface.  I used the palette knife and brushes on the linen.  Contact  Kay  for more information on this painting.  More wildflower landscape painting in the studio today!  Thanks, Kay

Blue Skies Above 24" x 26" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Wildflower Landscape I am getting ready to send this painting to a gallery now that is dry.  Loose, bold brush strokes made this painting so much fun to work on.  How many times have you been on a trip and the road ahead is long and narrow and disappears into the horizon?  This road wanders back into the wide-open landscape.  Contact  Kay  if you have any questions or comments on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Golden Fields 8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Palette Knife Painting I got my palette knife out for this painting...I used thick, juicy globs of oils...so it will take some time for it to dry.  I wanted to paint a landscape that would take the eye from the foreground to the horizon.  The wildflowers are put in with very little detail...just shapes, color and texture.  This painting is drying in the studio right now, but will be shipped to a gallery once it is dry.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here.  Contact  Kay  if you have any questions or comments.  Thank you...Kay

SANTA FE ART TREK:  Plein Air Painting / Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams   Day 4, afternoon location - Red Rocks 9" x 12" textured oil by Niki Gulley That afternoon, we moved on to this fascinating rock outcropping that seems to rise out of nowhere with intense red hues and hundreds of cracks and crevices that actually look hand-sculpted rather than naturally made. Again, each painter picked a different vantage point, with some capturing the whole formation, while others cropped in tight on a close-up of the cliffs, and I chose to just include the edge of them contrasted against the distant purple mountain and a sliver of the road cutting through the rocky terrain. Painting at the red rocks formation. Visit  nikigulley.com/artreks/  for upcoming Art Treks and Workshops or  E-mail  Niki Gulley  for more information.
