Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

Beautiful Goodbye oil on linen 6" x 6" It's been awhile since I painted the figure, but I made up for it this week, painting 4 small figurative pieces. The inspiration for this one came from a vintage photo I found from around the early 1950s. I loved how the light came from behind her, throwing her face into shadow. I wanted emotion to rule in this painting and so I made my brushstrokes very expressive. Now I can't get the song "Beautiful Goodbye" by Maroon 5 out of my head! I love to share my art and inspiration. Click HERE to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards. Follow me on Facebook

“Rhythmic Waters VI” ©2010 Niki Gulley 12” x 12” oil on canvas I created this ocean scene with palette knife and extremely thick oil paint to achieve texture and suggest the energy found in nature. I wanted to capture that magical moment when the sun sets near the horizon and casts it’s sparkling glow over the ocean’s surface while illuminating the sky. The image is painted around the sides of the 1.5 inch deep gallery wrap canvas so that it looks three-dimensional and can be hung as is without a frame for a contemporary look. These chunky ocean paintings look great in pairs, threes and fours. To see my “Rhythmic Waters” series in person, stop by my booth at the Art Street Green Bay art show this weekend in Green Bay, WI. For more information on the show, go to artseventsinc.com/artstreet . If you'd like to learn how to create loose, vibrant paintings join us this fall in my Adult Art Classes in Dallas.
