     “Fibonacci's Dream" ©2021 Niki Gulley 36” x 36" textured mixed media painting  on 1.5" wrap around canvas with the painting continuing around the edges In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up into the treetops, mesmerized by the scene overhead. I chose uplifting yellows and golds contrasted against a turquoise blue sky with gentle clouds drifting by to lift your spirits. I've arranged the aspens in a spiral pattern so that you have a sense of laying on the ground, surrounded by the forest, connecting with nature and the heavens above. Utilizing thick, curving paint strokes also adds to that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery. For more information on my textured aspen paintings, please e-mail me at  Niki Gulley.

I just lack a few tweaks in the foreground and I am done.

This painting sprang from my head. Proportion be damned. I like it. My original intention was to place 3 very tall Aspen trunks over the small ones(if they ever dry). Now I do not know.

I thought that I needed to cool down the foreground because it was competing with the foliage. I added a little iridescent white to the tips of some of the clouds and some more yellow to the foliage. I think that I am about done. I will ponder this for a couple of days and hopefully sign it and move on. Thanks for viewing and comments are always welcome.
