"Cross Hatch" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

"Cross Hatch"

SOLD • 12" x 18" textured oil by Niki Gulley

Just Sold! Recently, we visited Santa Fe and to escape the heat we ventured up the Santo de Cristo mountains to cool down amongst the beautiful, refreshing aspen trees. I was attracted to this grouping of trunks in particular with their beautiful textured white bark and their proximity and angles to each other. Their verticality offset by the horizontal logs on the ground made for an interesting composition. On this piece, I decided to pull in tight on the trunks, really focusing on the peeling bark and gnarled knots. I chose to include just a sliver of the sentinels behind to give you a sense of being surrounded by the peaceful forest and accentuating the rhythm in the upright trunks. Pops of red add to the joy and energy of the moment. I hope you, too, can feel the serenity of this rejuvenating place.

New "Meandering Journey" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

"Meandering Journey"

16" x 20" textured oil by Niki Gulley

Recently, we visited Santa Fe and to escape the heat we ventured up the Santo de Cristo mountains to cool down amongst the beautiful, refreshing aspen trees. I was drawn to this meandering path leading through the aspens with its dappled light creating such gorgeous shadows. Having fun capturing all of the different textures with palette knife from the lush grasses to the feathery wildflowers to the peeling bark on the aspen trees, I set out to recreate the peace and beauty of this forest. I hope you, too, can feel the serenity of this rejuvenating place and enjoy an uplifting walk in the woods.

New "Standing Witness" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

"Standing Witness"
16" x 20" textured oil by Niki Gulley

Recently, we visited Santa Fe and to escape the heat we ventured up the Santo de Cristo mountains to cool down amongst the beautiful, refreshing aspen trees. I was attracted to this grove in particular with their beautiful textured white bark and their proximity and angles to each other. I decided to include the sentinels behind, also, to give you a sense of being surrounded by the peaceful forest. Dappled light casts diagonal shadows and causes the grasses to dance and sparkle. I hope you can feel the serenity of this rejuvenating place.

This is the ONLY Winter Aspen on Canvas left from the 2012 collection.

I painted it  at the end of the season for a show that was cancelled, and I don't think I ever posted it online.

 I will soon start the 2013 Collection, so decided to include this piece in my 2013 Breast Cancer Fundraiser.

50% of the Profits from the Painting Will Be Donated.

   My Annual Fundraiser is Underway and Will Continue Throughout The Month of October 25%  to 100% of the proceeds from each item from this Collection will be donated to one of the multiple foundations I support, or used to personally Gift someone currently fighting this battle.

 Prints from some of my FAVORITE Art for the Cure Paintings from previous years, including the "Pinkogram"print, which was used for my 2009 Art for the Cure Poster are available HERE

Painting the Aspen Trail with Niki Gulley

SANTA FE ART TREK:  Plein Air Painting / Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams  

Day 2, afternoon location - Aspen Trail

9" x 12" textured oil by Niki Gulley

On day 2 of our Santa Fe Art Trek, the temperature started rising in the afternoon, so we headed up into the mountains for cooler breezes to paint the beautiful aspen trees. We were attracted to the brilliant white trunks with their unique peeling bark and dark protruding knots. I liked how the soft dappled light came through the trees and illuminated the path, leading into the distance. Becoming totally lost in the moment, we set out to capture the peacefulness and contentment we felt that afternoon.

Above: Some of our students painting in the aspen grove, listening to the sounds of the babbling brook nearby. A perfect day!

Morning Aspens

This is a 30x40 oil painting on a narrow canvas, making it easy to frame. It was inspired by one of my trips to New Mexico.

Golden Aspen 36x48 Oil on Canvas Mark Malone

This is another foray into my Aspen Series. I really like the way this piece turned out. When painting it, I mistakenly picked up a tube of burnt sienna instead of Van Dyke Brown when working on the trunks. I realized my mistake pretty quickly, but liked the way it was coming together. Frequently, I will have such happy little accidents. This piece has been accepted for entry into the Artists of Texas show this fall at The Dutch Art Gallery, here in Dallas. Wish me luck!

"Aqua Dreams," New textured oil painting by Niki Gulley

“Aqua Dreams” ©2011 Niki Gulley

36” x 60” textured oil on canvas

When we arrived at this tranquil spot, the early morning light was very cool in color, but as the sun began to rise from the horizon, it shone this beautiful warm light that shimmered on the water’s surface and cast its hope of what was to come from the brand new day. I remember the peacefulness I felt in that moment, and a sense that anything was possible. In Aqua Dreams, by showing the contrast in the cool aqua/blues in the foreground waters against the warm golden glow on the distant pond’s edge, I wanted to share that feeling of hope and promise communicated by nature.

"Flowing Light" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley

“Flowing Light” ©2011 Niki Gulley

36” x 60” textured oil on canvas

You walk down a path sheltered by autumn drenched trees, intrigued by the light flowing through the leaves and branches, casting shadows, colors changing with each gentle breeze, sunlight cascading down your pathway. Peaceful, tranquil, this painting flows around the canvas capturing the memory of autumn: lush crisp colors, crunchy leaves and a walk through the woods Walt Whitman would have envied.
