I am excited to be accepted in the  33rd annual Wyoming National show.  The show is in Sheridan Wyoming in August. Saddle Shop and Black Buick will be in the show. The saddle shop was poured watercolor and I didn't like it so I went back and painted it with gouache.  I am surprised it got in.  The Saddle Traders Shop is in Post Tx. The old car was on the highway near Canyon TX. It was all grown up in trees and weeds. It was a beautiful old car. No telling what stories are hidden away in it!!

Light Filled Sunrise 12x16 oil on canvas The sky was a wonderful mix of cool and warm colors.  I started with a thin layer of thalo red rose and built up the texture and color from there.  The view is along a walking path in Pecan Valley Park, Benbrook, Texas.  The sunrise views from here are a constant inspiration for me.

Walking around my hill at different times of day presents surprising differences in how things look.  Relaxing into the moment seems to be the trick.

Fathers Day commission. This was the first time I did a portrait with two subjects. It was a challenge, but I like the way it turned out. More importantly, so did the client and the recipient and I have been asked to paint another! www.melissaatorresart.com Facebook Instagram

9 x 12 oil on linen contact artist direct Pat@Meyer.net The path to this old boat house was covered with weeds and didn't look like we could make our way down to the boat house.  Paths are never clear in life and sometimes we fear which way to go.  Fear makes us stop in our tracks and not able to move.  Then we stop and prayer and God clears the way. www.PatMeyer-artist.com Signature Member Artist of Texas, Oil Painter of America, American Impressionist Society, NOAPS, Southwest Artist

©2018 Niki Gulley •  textured oil paintings I'm so excited and honored to have received "Best in Show" at Webster Groves Art Fair this summer! In my work I strive to capture the vibrant energy and intrinsic beauty of our natural surroundings so as to uplift one's spirits and suggest childlike wonder. In order to achieve the desired mood for my work, I combine an impressionistic flair for painting with a sculptor-like technique by applying paint thickly using palette knives, thereby creating multi-dimensional images. The resulting style achieves a richness of depth that explodes with color, flows with light, and evokes an emotional response. By utilizing vivid hues and contrasting the play of light and shadow to create drama, my broad energetic strokes add to a sense of vitality and motion, bringing my landscapes to life.   For more information on contemporary impressionistic palette knife paintings, please e-mail  Niki Gulley. ...

Fall Carnival ©2018 Niki Gulley SOLD •  30" x 40" textured oil painting on gallery wrap canvas Just Sold!  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 landscape to be filled with movement and vivacity, so I incorporated a lot of diagonal and curving shapes in the design to suggest that feeling. Contrasting short staccato strokes against blended passages with my palette knives, also increase that sense of motion. One zig zag passage of crimson foliage creates a focal point in the tangle of leaves and turnks while adding energy to the scene. 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.

12 x 16 oil on linen panel contact artist direct Pat@Meyer.net When arriving at the Lake house yesterday my excitement started when seeing these beauties at the End of The Porch swaying in the winds.  It was a hot steamy summer day but that didn't stop me from   getting out the brushes and capturing the moment of this sunny day.  The colors were so bright and vivid so why not paint them that way. www.PatMeyer-artist.com Signature Member Artist of Texas, Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, NOAPS, Southwest Artist

Another in a series from subjects I find on my hill in the Texas hill country. Playing with these colors was like finding a guitar scale that works nicely over a basic chord pattern.   It's a sad fact, but often the case, that what we see every day tends to become commonplace and uninspiring.  That leads to thinking that worthy subjects reside somewhere else than wherever we happen to be.  For an outdoor painter, it's good to keep in mind that if there's light falling on a group of shapes there's probably something fun there to paint.

"Reflective Radiance" ©2018 Niki Gulley Two 48" x 18" canvases with one 48" x 30" canvas in the middle to form a 48" x 66" triptych Textured oil painting on wrap around canvas I decided it would be a fun challenge to create an extremely large painting, and I wanted the final piece to be very uplifting, colorful and full of energy. Opting for warm colors and working with extremely thick paint and palette knives, I chose this lily pond reference from our visit to Monet's Gardens in Giverny, France. The grounds were breathtaking and I could actually see his paintings come to life. I was drawn to the energetic flow and yet calming serenity in this view, and I positioned the water lilies and my paint strokes in a curving pattern to add to that mood. The morning light peeking through the distant foliage added to a sense of mystery and promise that I wanted to capture in paint, and share with you that feeling of hope. E-mail  Niki Gu...

Spring has sprung. Temperatures are climbing and the haze of summer rests on my hills.  Well, internet SNAFU's knocked me out of being able to post for the last few months. Maybe it was the Russians!!!  Well, no.  I don't think they care. 😐   Anyway, the problems have been solved, and I'll be trying to rebuild my posting habits.   HAZY HILLS ©Jimmy Longacre 2018 9x12 oil on canvas panel Jimmy Longacre subjective realist landscape paintings MY WEBSITE MY BLOG: Paintbox & Easel GALLERY  Fredericksburg Art Gallery_Fredericksburg, TX

48x48 acrylic and oil on canvas Commissioned by size with the instructions to have fun!  That I did!  The day after I finished it I was having lunch with the patron who asked if she could take a picture of my ear.  I cautiously asked why?  She said I still had green paint on my ear.   www.juliewileman.com jbwileman@gmail.com

"X Marks the Spot" ©2018 by Niki Gulley SOLD •  16" x 20" original textured oil painting Just Sold!  I painted this piece on location when the fall colors were starting to peak in all of their glory.  I was drawn to how the autumn leaves glowed when back lit by the sun and the water’s surface reflected brilliantly where the light raked across it. Off in the distance, two trees criss crossed almost like they were marking this spot for me to paint! There was a peacefulness created by the rhythmic sounds of the trickling water, and I hope you are transported to this place where all of your cares drift away.
