"Hill Country Retreat" Texas Bluebonnet oil painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

"Hill Country Retreat" ©2014 Niki Gulley

9" x 12" textured oil painting

I painted these Texas bluebonnets at a plein air painting workshop I was leading in Fredericksburg, TX. I loved the pop of red on the flag flying off this cabin's back porch in contrast to the vibrant cobalt bluebonnets. Working with palette knife and thick oil paint, this Texas landscape is loaded with texture, color and movement!
