Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

12 x 16 oil on linen panel contact  Vault Gallery Carmel Calif. Spring is here and the flowers are starting to bloom.  Carmel California seems to be full of the Calla Lilly flowers and other tiny flowers.  The colors are a feast for the eyes and the flowers blow in the salt air winds.  The inner twinning of the flowers makes them seem like the best of friends.  This painting will remind you of all those stunning cottage gardens. www.PatMeyer-artist.com Signature Member Artist of Texas, Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, WAOW, NOAPS, Hear of America Artist

At first glance this painting seems a mass of the same greens with a few tree trunks. Look again because I tried to have you stay "Focused On The Center Tree". I played with layers of orange, yellow, turquoise, deeper blues, some royal purple and more to grab your attention. Many layers of paint and textures woven together were used to tell the story and complete this painting. The process took time and was a bit painful but before long the painting seemed to say...enough...."It Is Finished!". Thank you for stopping to read this and look, maybe even a bit longer than usual, at the center tree! 24"x24"x2" Mixed Media on Canvas/Available Click HERE for purchase info.

9" x 12" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley Iceland My husband and I both LOVE waterfalls, which turned out to be one of our favorite things about Iceland – there was a stunning waterfall everywhere we went. Today I set up my easel to capture the energy and flow of the cascades while showing a hint of the mountainous scenery surrounding the landscape. Creating strokes in diagonal sweeping shapes to enhance that feeling of movement and rhythm, I hope you, too, can hear the flowing water's music and feel the gentle spray from its mist.

9" x 12" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley Iceland My husband and I recently visited Iceland and were awestruck by the exotic beauty of the country. On this morning, we returned to one of the striking areas we had hiked through the day before. Scott wanted to return to photograph the light at the perfect time of day, and I opted to paint in lieu of the couple of hour hike. Bundled up with 7 pairs of pants (neat trick!) I set up my easel to capture this winding river and the majestic mountains in the distance. Again, I was taken by the contrast in the vivid blues of the creek and sky against the golds of the foreground. I liked how the meandering river leads you into the reds and rusts of the distant shrubbery, adding a perfect contrast to the rest of the hues. Having snowed the day before, the peaks were covered with a lovely dusting that shows off their impressive size and shapes. And, luckily I kept warm enough to finish the painting and even lose one of the layer...

9" x 12" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley Iceland My husband and I recently visited Iceland to gather new inspiration on film and canvas. Going in March so that we could see the northern lights, we were often greeted by snowfall and an occasional blizzard! Today was one of the days where it was too windy to paint or photograph outside so we aimed the car towards this gorgeous vista and I painted from protection of the passenger seat. I loved the play of colors with the blue of the river and sky contrasted against the golden grasses and mountains. The red branches on the winter shrubbery were particularly beautiful and I wanted to feature them in the foreground next to the focal point, meanwhile a light dusting of snow still frosts the ground and adds to the dreamlike landscape.

"Sun Shines on Tuscany" ©2018 Niki Gulley SOLD •  16" x 20" textured oil painting Just Sold through The Good Art Company Gallery!  "Sun Shines on Tuscany" was inspired by our trip to Tuscany this summer. Our timing was perfect and the sunflowers were in full bloom. Their bright, smiling faces as big as dinner plates, the sun dappled path leading you deep into the golden field to the quintessential town perched on a hilltop in the distance , and a beautiful summer day with a few dramatic clouds drifting by made for the ideal subject. The resulting painting is full of warmth, color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

Sunset and Egret,oils on canvas panel Posted on 3/26/2019 By Barbara Haviland Barbsgarden-Texas Contemporary Artist Comment on this Topics:  Daily posting of Art  |  Wildlife-Birds   © Barbara Haviland--BarbsGarden Sunset and Egret is done on a 12"x 12" canvas panel.

"Field of Dreams" ©2019 Niki Gulley Three 48" x 36" canvases to form a 48" x 90" triptych textured oil painting on wrap around canvas Field of Dreams is inspired from the beautiful sunflower fields we visited in Provence, France. The flowers seemed to stretch forever and the color explosion was out of this world! Back in my studio, I worked from a combination of photos, on-site sketches and memories. Painting the sunflowers full-sized in the foreground helps to bring them to life and hopefully transport you to this happy location. Including surprising pops of vivid reds and purples keeps your eye moving throughout the scene, seeing new things each time you look at it, and adds to the joyful feeling.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone thinks the colors I use in a painting are what my eyes see when viewing my inspiration. The answer is no. I just love to exaggerate and explore relationships between color families to tell the story of the moment. This painting illustrates a routine of gathering together and heading home. My goal was to push the colors in such a way that you might pause a moment to linger as you stared at the painting and then maybe go so far as to define for yourself what "Second Gathering" means to you. Many layers of texture and color weave together the multiple layers of meaning.  18"x24"x2" Mixed Media on Canvas/Available Click HERE for purchase info.

"Autumn Serenade II" ©2018 by Niki Gulley SOLD •  30" x 40" original textured oil painting Just sold through the Good Art Company Gallery!  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. Contrasting short staccato strokes against blended passages 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.

“Sun's Bounty" ©2019 Niki Gulley 30" x 48" textured mixed media painting on wrap around canvas I wanted this piece to be uplifting and full of color and energy. Set beneath a glowing sky on a beautiful summer evening with the sunflowers in full bloom, you can just make out the stone farmhouse in the distance against a backdrop of purple mountains surrounding the plain.

What are friends for? My painting pal, Robin Cheers, is doing a video for Liledahl Videos. She asked me along for moral support and I gladly accepted! Friends make our lives so much more interesting and give us more experiences than  we would ever have on our own. I met her at the studio earlier this week and found it so interesting I thought I'd blog about it. The studio is tricked out with the same cameras they use on network TV and movie sets. Also it's sound proofed and they have 4 cameras running at once. One on the palette, one on the artwork, and two on Robin. First, she did a really cool water based sketching technique with graphite and water pens to help her determine her composition. You can take it anywhere with you too! Meet Scott and Trevor the guys who make everything perfect. Then she started on a white canvas: and shared her way of simplifying and blocking in. Also her special way of mixing and ...
