Painting in the Texas Hill Country with Impressionist Niki Gulley

 

“Living History III” ©2023 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 24" x 12" textured acrylic painting on canvas

"For me, wildflowers are joy-giving. They have enriched my life and fed my soul and given beautiful memories to sustain me."
– Lady Bird Johnson



Just Sold! Surrounded by a sea of blue – Scott captured me in my element here! Not only were the bluebonnets and wildflowers magnificent this year, but I just adore the live oaks, too. Their massive stature, their gnarly, twisting branches and the umbrella of shade they cast, just make me want to paint them over and over again. Leaving bluebonnets large and prominent in the foreground, rows and rows of cobalt lift your spirits and lead you back to the shelter of the grand old oak. I hope you, too, can enjoy the beauty of Texas in all of its spring glory.

The wildflower explosion this year was out of this world! A giant, woven patchwork carpet of colors that danced across the fields of the Texas Hill Country. I started this piece on location, but kept my strokes loose and free to capture that feeling of pure joy.  Dreamy light pours in through the distance illuminating your path and beckoning you to explore the beauty that lies ahead.

This idyllic setting just screamed Texas to me and I had to paint it. The quintessential windmill spins in the distance, signaling a change in seasons as spring arrives. Colorful bluebonnets and wildflowers fill the landscape, inviting you to take a leisurely drive through the wildflower fields, noble oaks and into the hilltops ahead. I hope you can slow down and enjoy your journey in the Texas Hill Country on this beautiful April day.

Who doesn’t love a drive through the Texas Hill Country on a beautiful Sunday afternoon? Especially in springtime when the bluebonnets and wildflowers form a rolling carpet of cheerful color! Today we had to stop ont he side of the road for me to capture all of that beauty. Big, fluffy clouds drift by in the sky as those gently rolling shapes repeat in the trees and foreground adding to a harmonious, joyful feel. I hope you can enjoy the escape with me!

Textured Bluebonnet Painting by Dallas Artist Niki Gulley

 

“Harvesting Color” ©2023 Niki Gulley
24" x 12" Textured Acrylic on Canvas

Recently we drove all over the Texas Hill Country, taking in the beauty of this year’s gorgeous wildflower crop! I’ve always loved this old stone farmhouse in Marble Falls, so today we just had to stop so I could paint it and the flower fantasy surrounding it. Besides a prolific year for bluebonnets, the white poppies were denser than I’d ever seen. Painting them large in the foreground, allows you to take in their individual beauty. Arranging the rows of wildflowers veritcally are designed to lift your spirits and guide you to your retreat in the distance. May you enjoy your escape to the beautiful hill country!

Texas Artist Niki Gulley Paints "Living History"

 

“Living History” ©2023 Niki Gulley
20" x 10" Textured Acrylic on Canvas

I am fascinated by our Texas live oaks. Their gnarly, tangled branches are unlike other trees and tell such a story of their life – twists, turns and all. Standing tall and branching wide, they offer shelter and respite from the hot Texas sun and grow where few other sentinels can survive such drought conditions. Their deep, etched bark gave me the perfect opportunity to play with color and texture – a modern take on Van Gogh!

"Barn at LBJ Ranch" Oil Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

             

"Barn at LBJ Ranch"  ©2022 Niki Gulley •  9" x 12" palette knife oil painting

I created this while on a painting competition for the American Impressionists Society which was held in Fredericksburg, TX this spring. We were open to painting anything that we would like and I ran across this beautiful red barn nestled in amongst the massive, gnarly trees on the LBJ Ranch and just couldn't resist painting it.

If you're interested in purchasing this painting or seeing the texture in larger detail, just follow this link   https://www.nikigulley.com/barn-at-lbj-ranch/.

Jimmy Longacre_subjective impressionist landscape paintings_WINTER CREEK


A break from my urbanization to my old country ways.  :)
This is "stick season" out there, so I like to push things a bit. I needed a change from my urban series, so I headed down one of the roads out here in the Texas hill country.  I have to be careful because if I go out without my painter-vision working I don't see anything worth painting!  Everything seems to be a couple of shades of wheat, olive and gray.  Once I pick up on a subtle clue from the landscape color, I like to select a premixed color plan and see how I can enhance the effect using a very limited palette.  This one was done with Yellow Ochre, Quinacradone Magenta, Manganese Violet, Cobalt Blue, Cerulean Blue, Black and White.

Sweet Dreams Poppies
by Nancy Medina

SOLD
14X14
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas


Sometimes I feel the need to express color brightly, boldly, and so thick you would need a knife and a fork to cut into it! I've been working until midnight every night for weeks preparing for upcoming workshops, my show in Fredericksburg this weekend at The Good Art Company Gallery, and all of the exciting new challenges of my full time job as an artist. How thankful I am to be able to follow my dream. I am in a state of absolute euphoric exhaustion. This is how I want to live my life, and spend my days, rushing headlong toward a dream and a life filled with color. Thank you to everyone who has joined me for the journey. Tomorrow morning, I think we all deserve donuts, what do you think?

You are cordially invited to join me in historic Fredericksburg, Texas, amidst rolling hills, cabins, beautiful vistas, and awesome German bakeries for a perfect workshop retreat!
