Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

"Heightened Awareness” ©2012 Niki Gulley Sold •  48” x 36” textured oil on canvas Just Sold at the Good Art Company! In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and the heavens above. Choosing vibrant, cheerful yellows contrasted against a crystal blue sky and arranging the aspens in a circular pattern heightened by thick, curving paint strokes, both add to that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery. If you would like to paint with more freedom, color and energy in your work, join me on Nov. 2nd - 4th when I'll be teaching a "Painting Outside the Lines" workshop sponsored by the Good Art Company in Fredericksburg, TX.

“Autumn Gems” ©2012 Niki Gulley SOLD • 36” x 60” textured oil painting on wrap around canvas JUST SOLD!  I wanted this painting to be about the power and energy in nature to invigorate your spirit, so I chose to use warm vivid colors and thick staccato strokes to add to that feeling.
