"Tomorrow's Dreams" Quadriptych Dreamy Landscape Painting by Niki Gulley

 

        

"Tomorrow's Dreams" ©2022 Niki Gulley

Four 30" x 30" canvases to form a 60" x 60" quadriptych  - textured mixed media painting on wrap around canvas

Appearing in one of my meditations, I saw this image of the sunlight casting its glow around the landscape while live oaks embrace the scene and colorful wildflowers kiss your journey as you venture inward. Stop for a moment and take in the view or continue your venture and wander into the unknown.

Abstract Birch and Aspen Tree Paintings by Niki Gulley

 

     

"Floating Expressions II" ©2022 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 24" x 24" textured mixed media painting on wrap around canvas, framed in a silver floater frame

Just Sold! In this painting series, I wanted the focus to be on texture. Usually I paint with a lot of color, but I opted to use a limited palette on these pieces to really concentrate on the peeling bark of the aspen trees. Bordering on the edge of abstraction and the cusp of realism, Floating Expressions is loaded with layers and layers of paint, built up with thin glazes and then palette knife to create extreme dimension. Choosing to come in extremely close on the subject, I played around with various strokes and paint thicknesses to add depth and energy. At the end, I had to throw in a few of my signature strokes of color – a splash of gold, some touches of purple, and just a dab of fire-engine red for added excitement and unexpected color twists.
