Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

   "Fairytale Setting II" ©2021 Niki Gulley 9" x 12" textured oil painting on canvas panel Can you really get sick of painting gorgeous fairytale views? Definitely not! We only had one more day in Colmar for me to once again try and capture its beauty. Fortunately, I did not have to get up before sunrise to capture this one and it was a shorter walk from our hotel, but I found the scene just as enchanting. I hope you, too, art transported to this picturesque, uplifting location. To see more of my contemporary impressionistic landscape paintings, visit  nikigulley.com .

  "Fairytale Setting II" ©2021 Niki Gulley 9" x 12" textured oil painting on canvas panel I loved these views in Colmar so much that I just had to paint more of them. So once again, I was able to drag my body out of bed and carry my painting gear in the darkness to set up at this picturesque location in downtown Colmar. As the sun started rising, it illuminated the buildings and cast its colorful glow along the river and the sky. I'm so glad I made the effort and got up in time to capture it!

"Sunny Refrain" ©2021 Niki Gulley 9" x 12" textured oil painting on canvas panel Painted on location while we were visiting Alsace, France, these perky sunflowers added so much joy to the lush valley. Grapevines planted in repetitious, rhythmic rows ebb and flow over the gentle curving hills as they lead your eye to the old stone church in the distance and you can almost hear their bells ring out. While I began this one outside, you can see the dramatic clouds that started to roll in and and my luck ran out as the rain hit. Fortunately there was still a view undercover and I was able to finish it in the front seat of our rental car. Good thing I didn't spill any paint!

   "Fairytale Setting" ©2021 Niki Gulley 9" x 12" textured oil painting on canvas panel Next up on our journey was a visit to the fairytale villages of Alsace, France. Located along the French/German border, each town is a visual paradise consisting of brightly colored cross-timbered houses and flower boxes overflowing with vibrant, cheerful blooms. The hardest part is narrowing down what to paint! This morning I dragged my body and my painting gear in the darkness to set up at this picturesque view in downtown Colmar. As the sun started rising, it illuminated the buildings and cast its colorful glow along the river and the sky. I'm so glad I made the effort and got up in time to capture it!

"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.
