Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

"Hill Country Textures" ©2013 Niki Gulley 8" x 10" textured oil painting I painted these Texas bluebonnets at a plein air painting workshop I was leading in Fredericksburg, TX. I was attracted to the contrasting textures of the craggy rocks next to the soft bluebonnets and native grasses. Working with palette knife and a lot of oil paint, I set out to capture all of that dimension. For more information on my Texas bluebonnet and wildflower paintings, please e-mail  Niki Gulley.

"Spring's Kaleidoscope," Texas Hill Country  ©2013 Niki Gulley 24" x 12" textured oil painting I painted these Texas bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush and Coreopsis with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve depth and texture. The resulting image comes to life and is loaded with color and energy. In this wildflower series, I've painted the edges of the 1 and 1/2 inch deep stretcher bars with the scene continuing around the sides so that it can be hung without a frame, or I have the option of an espresso floater frame which draws your attention into the painting.
