"Looking Skyward" Uplifting Treetop Painting by Niki Gulley

  

   

"Looking Skyward" ©2023 Niki Gulley

30" x 40"" textured mixed media on canvas

In this painting, I wanted you to you to experience the joy of looking up into the treetops – just like you did when you were a kid. Lying on the ground, not a care in the world, you gaze in wonderment. Choosing electric yellows and reds and flinging paint in multiple swirling layers add to that playful, childlike whimsy. I hope you are transported back to a happy, carefree time and place!

"Woodland Adventure" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

  

  

"Woodland Adventure" ©2022 Niki Gulley

 18" x 24"" textured oil painting on board

I find being immersed in nature can have such an uplifting effect, and I wanted to share that feeling with you in Woodland Adventure. I chose pure, intense reds and yellows contrasted against autumn greens to create a fall forest that vibrates with color and energy.  I placed the vivid foliage in diagonal sweeping shapes to create a sense of movement, so that you can feel the wind gently rustling the leaves and causing them to dance on a beautiful fall day.

Heightened Awareness III - New aspen painting by Niki Gulley

Heightened Awareness III ©2012 Niki Gulley

48" x 36" • Textured painting on canvas

In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and the heavens above. I chose vibrant, cheerful yellows contrasted against a violet blue sky filled with big, puffy clouds. And, by arranging the aspens in a circular pattern heightened by thick, curving paint strokes, that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery are enhanced.

"Opposites Attract" Two Woman Show w/ Gulley & Padgett

"Passionate Embrace" ©2012 Niki Gulley

textured oil painting • 36" x 36"

I wanted this birch painting to be very colorful and whimsical, like through the eyes of a child looking into the treetops with fascination. I also like how sometimes the difference between realism and abstraction isn't that great at all, and in this case, by just inverting and adding tree trunks to Elizabeth Padgett's abstract painting, the result can become a realistic scene in "Passionate Embrace." 

Please join Dallas artists, Niki Gulley and Elizabeth Padgett, for this Two Woman Show "Opposites Attract," featuring their paintings from two different perspectives – realism and abstraction. Artist Reception is Sun. Feb. 5 from 2 to 4 pm at the Jaycee Center for the Arts, 1975 Puritan Dr. between Story Rd. and MacArthur in Irving, TX. Exhibit runs Jan. 29 - Feb 23, 2012.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Niki Gulley.

horizon Series: Abstract Aspens by Kay Wyne

Horizon Series: Abstract Aspens

30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Palette Knife Painting

This painting is drying right now, and it is full of earthy colors, texture and lines. This painting evolved after I was experimenting with some mixed and muted oils. As with most of my abstracts, I have a horizon line on the canvas. I had blocked in some geometric shapes, and after day two started seeing aspens. Then more aspens appeared. It is a different direction than most of my bright and colorful aspens. I was encouraged to use this palette by several observers, and painted another canvas very similar. I will be posting that painting tomorrow. I hope to have a full day in the studio...thanks for taking a look at this blog. Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com.

Winter Birch trees oil painting by Niki Gulley

“Climbing Trees IV” ©2011 Niki Gulley

40” x 30” oil on canvas

Growing up in the midwest, I loved the first snowfall of the year when everything would get a beautiful dusting of pristine white powder, including even the tiniest of branches in the treetops above. If you caught that moment early enough in the morning before anything had disturbed the intricate frosted web, it was just magical. I wanted to capture that brief beautiful moment in "Climbing Trees" when the sunlight dances through the icing on the treetops and you can feel yourself looking up in wonderment just like you did when you were a kid. Using extremely thick oil paint and palette knives allowed me to recreate the various textures of the birches and ice-encrusted branches.
