New Orleans Garden District Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

 

          

"Oak Beauties," New Orleans  ©2022 Niki Gulley

12" x 9" palette knife oil painting

On our plein air painting and photography workshop my husband and I taught in New Orleans, we rode the trolley to the Garden District and set out to capture the beautiful architecture so distinctive of the area. I was attracted to this grand pink house, and in particular I loved the huge old oak tree framing it. The dappled light hitting the trunk was so striking that I decided to accentuate that in my painting with a multitude of colors and values while making the background soft to keep the composition from becoming too cluttered. The sheer size and age of the trees in New Orleans is incredible, which I set out to show juxtaposing the massive oak against the smaller two-story homes in the distance. Created with palette knife and a lot of oil paint, this canvas is loaded with texture and uplifting colors so that you feel the joy and energy of hanging out in New Orleans.

Gnarly Live Oak Trees from Louisiana by Niki Gulley

 

           

"Grandfather Trees"  ©2022 Niki Gulley •  9" x 12" palette knife oil painting

On the final day of our New Orleans Art Trek, we drove out to Oak Alley Plantation and were awed by its impressive grounds and 300 year old oak trees. Enjoying the quiet after the busy bustle of New Orleans, I set out to capture the beauty of these old gnarled trees.

French Village is the newest landscape in Flower Mound Studio, and if the cold weather holds up much longer I'm going to have to relocate my studio! My big studio window lets in so much cold that by the end of each evening's painting session, my toes and fingers are numb. I've tried plugging in space heaters but always blow the circuits here in the front studio. Holy cow I'm going to have to get some hand and foot warmer thingies from the sports store if this cold snap continues much longer! I hope it's warmer where you are. I'm headed to Florida in a few days to teach. My hostess said the weather was 72 degrees yesterday. I can only vaguely remember warm weather, can you?

Frayssinet Sunset is the newest daily in Flower Mound Studio, based on my recent visit to Southern France. I'll be teaching in this charming village next August, and can hardly wait to return. Tomorrow we'll be filming a new video in North Texas, so I did a little flower shopping today with Howard Pee Pugpants at the nursery here in Flower Mound. I hardly had time to put the pugmobile in park when the first crowd of adoring fans stepped up to greet Mister Howard, with pats and exclamations of his absolute handsomeness. Howard loves an audience and all the attention that comes with it, and gave several slobbery autographs before helping me pick out just the right blossoms to paint on camera tomorrow. What on earth would I do without my studio helpers to guide me in the right direction each day?

Wisteria and Cherry Blossoms is a scene from the Dallas Arboretum and an offering to the powers that be in order to speed along the sunshine here in chilly Texas. Today three pugs went to the Spaw and so the house smells like roses (and pugs), and that's one more chore marked off my to-do list before leaving to paint flowers in Florida on Thursday. Tomorrow I am going shopping for jeans, since every pair I own has paint on them! Let's meet at the new La Madeleine for lunch and have a chocolate almond croissant and hot mocha with homemade whipped creme on top, shall we? We can pull up a table right next to the fireplace and share all our pet pictures. What better way to spend the day with a gal pal....

Butterfly Iris Garden is a scene from my garden last spring, and a wish for these flowers to hurry up and bloom again! We splurged last summer and had iris and hydrangea gardens installed along the shady side of the yard, and the bulbs we purchased in the spring from Argyle Acres Iris Garden are a mixture of colors and types. Some of these lovelies are double bloomers, meaning we had irises both in the spring and the fall last year. I'll be teaching a landscape class in Mesquite, Texas on Friday, so I've been going through my library of floral photos to find just the right theme for my students. I'm loving the tulips of the Dallas Arboretum from 2012, but we may end up with irises on our easels!

Nodding Off Poppies is the newest poppy in the easel, after a long series of poppies, and I sense the muses are pointing me toward hydrangeas and irises next. I let my muses dictate my journey when I can, reining them in only when needed for a commission work or for a classroom lesson involving a particular floral setup. Next in line - blues and lavenders to come on the easel in Flower Mound Studio!

The Orange Door is a new small painting in the studio, amidst shipping boxes, new canvases being prepped, and sleeping puggies. This is one of my favorite scenes from Coronado Island, off the coast of San Diego, California, in a sleepy little community that has been unspoiled by urban sprawl and whose residents pride themselves on beautiful cottage gardens. It's a heavenly place to visit, and speaking of which, I heard a story this week that reaffirmed my belief that there are angels among us. Read more....

"Boulder River" by Texas artist Rebecca Zook

This smallish piece has been hanging around in my loft and I finally got a frame for it and it's ready for a new home. This is a scene from a trip to Sedona. I was amazed by such a lush river scene while in the midst of the dessert surrounded by soaring red rock wind sculptured pillars. This scene is not how most people would picture Sedona, Arizona.
