Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley Painting Roses in Her Garden

      

"Moving Expectations III" ©2023 Niki Gulley

20" x 30" Textured Mixed Media on Canvas

As my garden kept evolving this spring, I was treated every day to a new blossoming surprise! After my irises were complete, I was greeted by the most gorgeous roses I've seen since I planted them 5 years ago. So, of course I had to go out and capture those beauties before they disappeared. 

 Wanting to create pieces that are full of joy, energy, texture and light, I painted the blooms large to add to that feeling of hope and exuberance. Choosing to leave the background airy and working with thick layers of white on white paint, multi-colored roses dance across the canvas with spontaneity and freedom. I hope these paintings bring the beauty of nature inside and fill your spirit with light and cheer.

What a beautiful surprise to have these roses blooming in my garden this winter! Of course the next night it was supposed to freeze and I couldn't let these beauties go to waste. After cutting and assembling them in a vase, I just kept staring at them as they were bringing so much color and joy to the grey day. Despite several projects on my plate, I had to take a break and capture these rosy fleeting blooms. May they bring some vibrancy to your winter days, too.

Red roses, sunflowers, white roses and daisies were blooming in my Fredericksburg, Texas workshop this weekend in the Hill Country. In addition to dozens of flowers, we painted clear blue glass vases and patterned white and blue china vases, and sampled cheese and cherry kolaches made fresh each morning. A drenching rain came down at the end of our last class, and in an area that has suffered massive drought for over three years, this was a rare gift. I watched shopkeepers step outside their doors and stretch their hands into the rain, and every one was smiling. I love teaching in Fredericksburg, it has not lost that small town feeling. It's far enough off the beaten path to have avoided the sprawl that has hit so much of Texas. If you're ever in the area, stop in to The Good Art Company Gallery and say howdy to Mary Katherine and Brendan, the owners. If you're really lucky, you might even get to meet the famous Bob the Studio Dog, AnnieBee's heart-throb!
