"Purple Perspective," Provence  ©2014 Niki Gulley SOLD • 24" x 12" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas pictured in espresso floater frame This lavender painting was inspired from our trip to Provence last summer, when our timing was perfect and we caught both the lavender and poppies in full bloom! I loved how in this photo that I took, the lavender really draws your eye back into the distance and invites you to walk down the purple rows and enjoy the heavenly aromas. I also liked the contrast in color of the poppies planted at the start of the rows against the violet and how the crimson blooms break up the long vertical format of the canvas.

“Bursting with Color” ©2011 Niki Gulley Two 24” x 24” textured oil paintings on canvas to form a 24” x 48” diptych I love it when we are driving leisurely through the countryside and we come across a gorgeous field of wildflowers. The sudden burst of color thrills your senses! Playing with color and texture, I feel like this poppy painting radiates with energy and captures the joy you feel on one of the first beautiful days of spring. With this series, you can purchase either the left or the right painting to hang alone or display both side by side to form a panorama diptych. E-mail Niki Gulley for more information on her textured floral paintings. Or, to see more of her work, stop by her booth at Art Fair on the Square in Madison, WI this weekend, (July 9 & 10). mmoca.org NikiGulley.com
