Copper Fountain 8x8 oil on canvas panel I created this during the Hidden Garden's Tour in Ft. Worth. It is such an honor to paint in these exclusive gardens. It turned into a beautiful day weather wise. We have had so much rain lately, but dodge it that day.  These beautiful copper fountains had weathered and were a rich array of color.  Sold Sheri Jones Sheri@sheriart.net http://www.sheriart.net http://www.sheriart.blogspot.com

Sunflowers, 3x3 acrylic on canvas. Available for purchase here at my  Etsy  shop. Bluebonnets. SOLD With the rainy weather and gloomy days we have been having in Texas, I decided to do some paintings to brighten the day. I wanted to paint, but not anything too big or detailed as I am working on commissions as well. It was somewhat of a challenge to use a palette knife on such a small canvas, but once I got the hang of it, it was easier and I truly enjoyed it. I used an acrylic gel medium to achieve the impasto effect. I may have to try a few more of these. Thank you for looking.  Too see more of my work please visit my website:  www.melissaatorresart.com . Feel free to leave me a comment or say hello.  To purchase any of my works, most are listed on my  Etsy . Follow me on  Facebook . My thoughts are with those who have lost their lives, families, and loved ones in the flooding.

"Sunny Life," Provence ©2015 Niki Gulley 30" x 48" textured oil painting Sunny Life is inspired from one of the amazing locations we take our students to on our Provence Art Trek. We actually set up our easels in this gorgeous lavender and sunflower field, where the flowers seem to stretch forever. The color and aroma explosion were out of this world – a painter's and photographer's dream come true. Words can't even describe how special that moment was to paint there surrounded by all that beauty! Taking my plein air sketch that I painted on location above, I set to capture that joyous feeling back in my studio. Pulling in closer to the sunflowers so you could see their beaming faces and get a sense of their scale, I added a few more color surprises to add to the happy mood (and I didn't have to worry about getting too close in fear of bee stings in the studio!) I hope you, too, experience the beauty and contentment of being in Pro...

"Intertwining Beauty" ©2015 Niki Gulley 36" x 60" textured oil on canvas Intertwining Beauty was inspired by a recent trip to the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The aspen forest was so dense and beautiful. I loved the pops of vibrant fall colors peeking through the tall, tangled, web of white knobby trunks. Ruby reds grab your attention while staccato strokes of emerald, amethyst and topaz lead your eye around the canvas. I hope you can feel the  energy found in nature and its power to invigorate your spirit. I painted these aspen trees with extremely thick paint and palette knife. The resulting canvas is loaded with texture, color and energy! I've painted it on 1 and 1/2 inch deep stretcher bars, with the image continuing around the edges so that it can be hung as is frameless for a contemporary look.  If interested in more information, please e-mail  Niki Gulley .

Pocket Change Still Life 6 x 8 Oil on Belgian Linen Panel Randall Cogburn To Purchase email me. Price: $150 + s/h Since the Gulf of Mexico has now moved inland,  I decided to paint inside. Scenes around the house in interesting light always attract me to paint them. This one was one of those. Time of day more towards the evening on an overcast day with light coming through the south facing window onto the washer. Our utility room is quite big and had a nice area to setup just in view of the doorway and lucky to have had a light to light up my palette and painting as I painted without causing in more added light to the scene I wanted to paint. 

Bountiful 36" x 60" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Floral Painting Starting with a photograph of John's roses, I quickly added some other flowers to the canvas.  This painting is bold, colorful and graphic.  It has brushstrokes that you can see, along with palette knife work, both creating lots of texture.  This painting is hanging at the studio drying, and while I may make some minor changes, it is completed.  The thick paint will take a while to dry, and then I will need to varnish.  The sides of the canvas are painted black, and a frame is optional.  Thanks for looking at Bountiful,   Contact  Kay  for more information on this contemporary floral.  Kay

Color My World 14" x 10" Canvas on Panel Contemporary Floral Landscape This painting is drying at the studio.  I have two layers of paint on the panel, then lots of palette knife work.  I used impasto to get some texture on the smooth canvas.  The photograph may not show, but the clouds are thick, broad strokes of oils with the knife.  I will get this framed once it is dry...it needs to sit right now so that the paint won't get smudged up.  Feel free to contact  ME  for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking, Kay

"Heightened Awareness” ©2015 Niki Gulley 48” x 30” textured mixed media on canvas In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and the heavens above. Choosing vibrant, cheerful yellows contrasted against a vivid blue sky and arranging the aspens in a circular pattern heightened by thick, curving paint strokes, both add to that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery.

Videos France, Italy and the US - Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Spring Rain Peony and Hydrangea Garden is my newest large container garden, unveiled at my art event at Wine Down Market in Flower Mound Saturday. I'm humbled and honored at such a great turnout for the show! Thanks so much to everyone who joined me, and congratulations to Kay McCarthy who won a fun and squishable peony pillow. All the proceeds for the pillow giveaway went to one of my favorite charities, Dallas Ft Worth Pug Rescue.

I'll be having another art show at Wine Down Market again this year, right in time for holiday shopping, I sure hope...

Oh Happy Day! 18" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Still Life Painting My favorite canvas shape is the square, but I really like the canvas I picked for this horizontal still life.  The vase of flowers is intentionally off-center.  The bouquet fills the canvas and is spilling over the edges, implying that the bouquet is full and over-flowing.  I used the palette knife on most of this painting.  The canvas has plenty of texture color.  I focused on lavenders and greens and greys and mixed piles and piles of oils when I painted this.  This painting is for sale, and is hanging at  Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas  for the "Local Color" exhibit.  It will be up for the next week, then a new show, "It's A Small World" begins June 6th.  Thanks for looking at this blog....

Framed in Violet White Roses by Nancy Medina 14X14 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Get a New Painting in Your Inbox (almost) Every Day! Videos France, Italy and the US - Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Framed in Violet White roses celebrates the push and pull of warm and cool violets, and how it can be just so much fun to let your hair down and play with color. Today the pugs and I are celebrating in the studio the release of my full-length, free tulip video. Just a flower footnote for all those who watch, unlike my professional DVDs, Pink Pirouette Tulip on video was just an amateur production done by yours truly, with her puggy assistants, so the sound is not high quality. I beg your forgiveness for that, though, if you listen closely, as a consolation prize, you might just hear snoring, snorting, barking and other assorted puggy noises! Stay tuned to the end for some fun out-takes involving the helpers! ...

"Golden Aura II" ©2015 Niki Gulley 36" x 48" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas Painted with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives so that this canvas is loaded with texture and bursting with color, flickering autumn leaves seem to almost dance in a gentle breeze. I wanted this scene to be filled with movement and energy, so I incorporated a lot of diagonal and curving shapes in the design to suggest that feeling. While combining short staccato strokes along with long sweeping passes with my palette knives also increase that sense of motion. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of walking through the woods on a beautiful fall day, letting your cares slip away and your spirit being invigorated.
