Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

Wow, I am behind on posting. I love the foliage on beets and other leafy vegetables. This orange Fiesta plate seemed to be a perfect complement to the beets and sliced purple onion and the strong leafy patterns. I am enjoying still life painting more and more...it is unbelievable how even the simplest still life takes so much time to arrange, light, etc, and then I have to 'hurry' before the leaves wilt! Painted on Gallery canvas, no need to frame. $150. + s/h. To purchase this painting:

'Morning Haze Ponies' 36 x 36  Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me for a commissioned painting. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting:  The collector lives here in Dallas. She came by the studio with paint swatches and we spent an hour or more visiting. I felt like I had a good grasp on the color palette for her room and her personality as well.  Once I started working on it, I stayed up most of the night painting so I am rather sleepy this morning.  This was a two day painting of many hours.  Holbein Duo Oils of course and my signature style. www.ellepace.com www.lauriepace.blogspot.com www.thepaintedpony.net

"Kicking Back" 6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board, Palette Knife Painting A little while ago, fellow artist Manon Doyle visited Arizona and put a photo of her feet up on a table, a glass of wine and the sunset kissing her toes.

"Rocky Mountain Aspens" ©2009 Niki Gulley 11" x 14" oil painting I like pushing color to its limits, so in this Colorado painting I wanted to capture the dramatic glow from the sun setting and reflecting on the fall aspens in contrast to the deep blues of the distant Rockies.

'Autumn Winds' 30 x 30  Acryilc on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  Delicious.  It was delicious painting with an orange sherbet color.  But gee, look outside and see all the golden leaves tinted with this orange sherbet color and you can't help but want to paint it.  THICK paint adorns this canvas as you can tell by the ridges of paint piling on edge as I pulled the colors.     www.lauriepace.blogspot.com

Three little delightful roses that grew in the garden this fall. They are 3 sister roses bushes. What amazed me is that they are all roses but all so different. Just like sisters in a family that are all from the same household but are always different. Each have their own individual personalities. May people realize how God made you different and blessed and may you find your easel friendly.

"Muted Hues" ©2009 Niki Gulley 36" x 36" oil on canvas I paint a lot of bold fall foliage scenes from Colorado and farther north, but I wanted this painting to have a more peaceful feel so I used much softer, more muted color palette to add to that mood.

'Morning Winter Sky ' 24 x 36  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  This one grew over a week's time.  It started out quiet gold and then as always erupts in color.  I do not think if you held me down I could paint a picture without a color explosion. What I love are the carved ribbons of color in the forelock and the mane, and the subtle plays of orange and blue. www.lauriepace.blogspot.com www.ellepace.com

NFS Hmmmm. If you have a dog, this pose is instantly recognizable: on the back, spread eagle, ears flapping, ready for a belly rub! Our chocolate Lab, Sweet Georgia Brown Dawg, frequently assumes this position and just smiles and smiles until she gets our attention. My husband's 60th birthday is coming up, and I'm thinking this painting would be a nice gift....he LOVES this dog! This painting is done entirely with painting knives, and I enjoyed the process....I think I will try some more knife painting! If you would like to see more of my paintings, please visit my BLOG . Yes, I am happy to do paintings of your pets, just email me. Thanks for viewing my art!

"Yonder Menemsha" , this is a Small painting, 6"x 8", oil on canvas panel I climbed to pond level from the overlook parking area above. In scouting the shoreline for "my" spot, I found a private path leading down from a summer home. As I set up easel and gear, I looked around and realized I had a perfect view diagonally across the pond to Menemsha. The sun was low and reflectively gleaming off the white Menemsha Coast Guard Station buildings, making them exceedingly visible from my distant location. The marsh grasses and all other vegetation have donned their Autumn mantle of multi colors. With the looming shadow from the hill behind creeping forward, I was rewarded with muted colors in contrast to the sun-streaked highlights on the near shore. A small dingy drifted by with its lone occupant so intent on dip-netting for bay scallops, that he never even saw me painting not 25 feet away...

'Purple Horse' 18 x 27 Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  I think it was the mood of purple that hazed over me as I started painting this black horse.  I didn't use much black.  I didn't think I like it and then I truly did like it as it developed it's very own cool personality. www.ellepace.com www.lauriepace.blogspot.com

AVAILABLE Can you think of something that can make you feel warm and fuzzy like fall pumpkins and sunny sunflowers. The warm colors of the pumpkins and the sunny yellow color of the flowers can't help but add happiness in your life.

"April Blooms III" ©2009 Niki Gulley 7" x 5" oil Here is another bluebonnet scene that I happened across while visiting Cleburne in the springtime. I was attracted to the quaintness of the stone cottage at the top of the hill and the bluebonnets blooming below, with a few other wildflowers dotting the hillside. For more information on this painting, email me at niki@nikigulley.com. Or, you can also see this painting and other bluebonnet scenes at the Dutch Art Gallery as part of the Texas Daily Painters show.

Thought I would post my latest bird painting, "Pigeons Dance at Night", a work on canvas.  I could not attend the opening in Dallas as I was teaching a class at the watercolor society in Hosuton this weekend.    lizhillart.blogspot.com

I damaged my shoulder a few weeks ago....Holding a brush was actually painful, so I am painting with my left hand. This is challenging, but likely a very good exercise. It forces me to slow down, and frankly, I am pleased with this left handed painting. These folks were enjoying a spring day in Asheville, NC. I hope he shared the snack with his dog.

"Meditation" , this is a Small painting, 6"x 8", oil on canvas panel This is a painting I did at My Toi, the Japanese Garden on Chappaquiddick.

"April Blooms" ©2009 Niki Gulley 7" x 5" oil This little painting was inspired by last year's bluebonnets in Ennis. I almost thought I was looking at a lake from the distance and when we drove closer, the lake turned out to be thousands of wildflowers!

'Two Pair' 18 x 24 x 2  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  I need to take some better pictures as I shot this last night as I finished it.  The lighting was not good.  I love painting pears.

Horizon Series: Abstract Squares 9" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas This painting has changed and has taken several months to complete. It is full of tumbling color cubes or squares. There are geometric shapes, lines and layers of color...along with the horizon line. Layers and layers of color were applied... and finally, I finished it. This painting is on display at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas...thanks for visiting this blog.

I totally love the rodeo...the cowboys, the animals, the characters in the stands, the kids, the clowns, the whole big, crazy spectacle. I especially love the odd names of the bulls, and this one is no exception. Eight seconds is a lifetime if you are on the back of a really agitated, massive bull like this one. The cowboy did not win this engagement. This painting is 36x36x2, on gallery canvas, no need to frame. $900. To purchase, click the button below. To see more of my paintings, please visit my blog .

This painting is from the tea I was preparing w/ Friend Donna's beautiful antique Fiestaware. Of course, the initial plan was to photograph it, then paint it, but a quick cup of hot tea was irresistable. I like the lemon wedges in this one. This painting is being shown at the Artists of Texas exhibition opening this Saturday at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, TX. Painted on gallery canvas, there is no need to frame. $150 + s/h.....Click below to purchase. If you would like to see more of my work, please visit my BLOG .

"Rue de Colour," Alsace, France ©2009 Niki Gulley 11" x 14" oil Before we stopped in Paris, we visited the Alsace region on the eastern edge of France near the German/Swiss border. Known for their sweet white wines and pastel colored cross-timber houses, we fell in love with the area. In this quiet spot we enjoyed a delicious quiche and a glass of riesling, and I just had to capture the moment! Email me for more information. Visit my website.

Another painting from the beautiful collection of antique Fiestaware that I borrowed from Friend Donna. The round handles on these early Fiesta pieces made the most interesting shadows. This painting is considerably more 'controlled' than much of my work, but I felt this was necessary for this composition. To purchase, use the BuyNow button below or email me . Additional works can be seen on my blog . Thanks for visiting.
