Textured Hill Country Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

Willow City Loop ©2020 Niki Gulley
9" x 12" textured oil painting

I love bluebonnets but there were only two or three tiny ones at my feet, so I decided to use them as a guide and multiply them. That way I could paint the scene the way it would look in another two weeks. I started this piece on location along the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg, TX and these interesting red rocks were calling my name! Combine their beautiful hues and shapes along with the dreamy morning light, and I thought this composition would make a perfect painting. Lastly, including the road on the left reminds you to slow down and enjoy the journey.
