"Curves Ahead" Palette Knife oil painting by Niki Gulley

“Curves Ahead” ©2014 Niki Gulley

30" x 40” textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

On this trip, it felt like we were flying up and down these curvy mountain roads almost like we were on an adult roller coaster. So I wanted to have a little fun in my painting and capture that sense of movement and playful excitement. Choosing bright vivid colors an curving my strokes almost in a fish-eye composition, add to the youthful energy and thrill of adventure that I wanted to communicate.

New "Natural Textures" Palette knife painting by Niki Gulley

"Natural Textures" ©2013 Niki Gulley

24" x 24" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Bordering on the edge of abstraction and the cusp of realism, Natural Textures is loaded with layers and layers of paint, built up with thin glazes and then palette knife to create extreme dimension and depth.

 Hang it alone, pair it with Natural Textures II to create a diptych, 

or for a larger space, hang it with Natural Textures III to form a rhythmic triptych.
