"Reflections in Time" - Autumn oil painting by Niki Gulley

“Reflections in Time” ©2011 Niki Gulley

Oil on canvas • 24” x 36”

This painting is inspired by one of my favorite spots just ten minutes from our home in Dallas. It was a perfect autumn day – about 70° with a slight breeze and the peaking autumn colors were more vibrant than usual. With such a gentle wind, the vivid foliage and gorgeous fluffy clouds were reflected fairly clearly in the water and yet at the same time, I chose to create fluid moving strokes to suggest the peaceful energy in that moment.

New Koi Pond pastel by Niki Gulley

“Playing Tag” ©2011 Niki Gulley

24” x 36” pastel

Black, gold, white, tangerine—quicksilver Koi slice through silent waters while above them water lilies keep an eye on the playful, darting fish. Colors float and ripple across the painting forming tranquil patterns that segue into a loving composition of inverted hearts drawing you into the “heart” of the painting – a happy threesome of lilies in bloom.
