From The Porch

6" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Michigan Landscape Painting

I set my easel up on the front porch at the cottage in Michigan, overlooking Lake Charlevoix.  The Heroy's boat, Hemingway Point and some buoys are scattered in the water.  The color of the water changed on me because the sky was filled with clouds, with the sun popping in and out.  Contact Kay Wyne for more info on this painting.  Thanks for looking....more Michigan paintings coming!  Kay

"Aqua Dreams" New Textured oil painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

“Aqua Dreams” ©2013 Niki Gulley

36” x 60” textured oil on canvas

When we arrived at this tranquil spot, the early morning light was very cool in color, but as the sun began to rise from the horizon, it shone this beautiful warm light that shimmered on the water’s surface and cast its hope of what was to come from the brand new day. I remember the peacefulness I felt in that moment, and a sense that anything was possible. In Aqua Dreams, by showing the contrast in the cool aqua/blues in the foreground waters against the warm golden glow on the distant pond’s edge, I wanted to share that feeling of hope and promise communicated by nature.

If you would like to see my textured oil paintings in person, please stop by my booth at the Wells Street Art Fair in downtown Chicago this weekend.
