"Under the Old Oak Tree," Texas Hill Country  ©2017 Niki Gulley SOLD •  30" x 40" textured oil painting Just Sold through the Good Art Company Gallery!  Inspired by a trip to the hill country, I wanted you to feel the warmth and beauty on this perfect spring day while out for a leisurely drive among the bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers. I was drawn to this stately, gnarly live oak tree perched on a mound of bluebonnets, looking larger than life. The dramatic clouds behind it seemed to all be pointing at it, too, drawing even more attention to its beauty. I wanted to capture that feeling of drama and capture its spirit in my composition.

"Bluebonnet Reflections"  ©2013 Niki Gulley 9" x 12" oil painting Painted near Ennis, Texas, I thought this spot was so peaceful, dotted with bluebonnets and the cool-colored reflections they cast on the pond's surface.

"Blue Descent," Texas Hill Country  ©2013 Niki Gulley 24" x 36" textured oil painting Inspired by a trip to the Texas hill country, I wanted you feel the warmth and beauty as sun sets over this carpet of bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers. Touched with a hint of mystery from the long shadows being cast and a sense of romanticism from the time of day and the two oaks reaching for one another, this piece is loaded with pigment and thick oil paint. In person, the painting leaps off the canvas and the colors almost dance from all of the texture and energy!

Summerfield Indian Paintbrush by Nancy Medina SOLD 16X20 Oil on Archival Panel Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Summerfield Indian Paintbrush was my class demonstration this morning for my workshop in North Texas. A group of very talented ladies made spring blossoms happen in hopes that winter has left us, while we enjoyed a plethora of desserts and snacks, donuts, a strawberry concoction that was so delicious I hope I never get the recipe lest I gain 100 pounds, and some well meaning soul even brought healthy fruit wedges! My shattering donut devotion was undeterred, however, and I'm proud to say I had three. And another after class I had secretly sequestered into my carry bag. At this rate, it should be interesting to see how long before I go up another pant size... We are definitely ready for spring in the Texas Hill Country!

Indian Paintbrush Homestead by Nancy Medina   14X14 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Indian Paintbrush Homestead is the newest work in Flower Mound Studio, and it's a scene directly from my childhood, and the fields of Indian Paintbrushes on our family farm. We never had bluebonnets, but we had acres of Indian Paintbrush, my favorite wildflower. I don't have acreage or a garden here in this urban jungle of Flower Mound, but I'm thankful that I have my canvas to create with paint what my parents loved and nurtured all the years of my childhood.

"Spring's Glory, Texas Hill Country" ©2012 Niki Gulley 48" x 30" textured painting on wrap around canvas was inspired by a recent trip to the Texas Hill Country. This spring conditions were perfect, and the bluebonnets were amazing! While we were near Fredericksburg, we took a scenic drive along the Willow City Look and as we approached the top of a hill about half way around, we were greeted by this gorgeous view of the rolling hills and bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush in full bloom. Then, to top it off the sun was setting in the distance casting its golden glow and backlighting the wildflowers. I had to capture the magical moment, enhancing the kaleidoscope of colors in the sky and along the ground. Arranging clouds, the road and rows of bluebonnets in rhythmic sweeping shapes, create a harmonious landscape that flows with light, texture and color, and suggest a feeling of optimism about what's to come. If you're in the Dallas th...

"Blue Horizon" ©2012 Niki Gulley SOLD   30" x 48" textured oil on canvas SOLD - I love the rolling hills of the Texas hill country and when the bluebonnets are prolific, it feels like a carpet of blue stretches for miles. I painted this bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush scene with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve extreme texture.  The resulting image comes to life and is loaded with color and energy. I've painted the scene around the edges of the canvas on 1 and 1/2" deep stretcher bars so that the paintings can be hung without a frame for a unique sculptural effect.
