   "Nature's Brushstrokes IV" ©2021 Niki Gulley 24" x 48" diptych textured mixed painting on canvas I love it when we are driving through the countryside and we come across a gorgeous field of wildflowers. The sudden burst of color thrills your senses! I wanted to capture the rhythm, color, and density of this brilliant carpet of red. Making sure not to over blend my thick strokes so that you could see the marks and feel the energy found in nature. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting, while rendering the blooms and their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and showing it in a contemporary way.

   "Nature's Brushstrokes IV" ©2020 Niki Gulley 24" x 48" diptych textured mixed painting on canvas One of my favorite joys in the world is running across a colorful  field of wildflowers, especially when it looks like they have rolled out the red carpet. There was such an amazing ebb and flow to this patch that it reminded me of ocean waves. So I made my strokes to match that intensity and energy. I'm excited to have been invited to exhibit at Studio Seven Arts in Pleasanton, CA.

Vortex Abstract Diptych - Vortex I and II 40" x 60" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Palette Knife Painting These two canvases started out as a landscape, but ended up with the energy and movement of a vortex.  (According to my studio mates.)  This was a painting that ended up going in a different direction once I got into it.  I had put my darks in first, and went over-board, and after letting it sit on my easel for several weeks, I painted out the darks, and scraped some of the dark greens and grey out.  My favorite colors in this are the cad oranges mixed with the pinky beiges.  There is a hint of turqoise under the layers of greens. The blues and grey are beautiful...I mixed and mixed piles of them and layered them on with the palette knife.  There is a lot of depth and texture.  It is drying at the studio.  Contact  Kay Wyne  for more information on this diptych.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

It was my intention to try to capture the colors of copper as it weathers and takes on its "verdigris" patina and render it into an abstract diptych. This work is made up of (2) 30x30 canvasses, making the entire piece 30x60.
