Little House at the End of the Field, 5.5x8, Original Oil Painting, Unframed, $75 SOLD

Little House at the End of the Field, 5.5x8, Original Oil Painting, Unframed,SOLD Sometimes you just need to shake it up a little. I was getting pretty tired of still lifes and needed to get outside and give plein air another try. I had so much fun with this one. Could it be that all that squinting at tomatos and oranges helped me out with my nemesis...plein air? I think the red underpainting might have given it a little boost. I'll try it again with a white canvas and see what I can do.

Niki Gulley at the 57th Street Art Fair in Chicago, IL this weekend

"Sun Drenched IV" ©2012 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 36" x 48" textured painting on wrap around canvas

Sun Drenched IV was inspired by our trip to Provence, France last summer. Our timing was perfect and the sunflowers and lavender were in full bloom. While we came across many fields of lavender, we had to search a little harder for sunflowers. Of course that meant sampling more of the local cuisine and wines for much needed fuel as we looked! (My husband likes to say we have to suffer four our art.)

When we eventually came across these sunflowers, I knew immediately they would make a perfect painting. Their bright, smiling faces as big as dinner plates, the sun dappled path leading you deep into the golden field to the quaint stone farmhouse in the distance, and a beautiful summer day with a few peaceful clouds drifting by made for the ideal subject. The resulting painting is so full of color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece immediately lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

If you're in Chicago this weekend, please stop by my booth at the 57th Street Art Fair where I will be exhibiting more of my sunflower and contemporary landscape paintings, or if you're in the Dallas area, American Fine Art will have about a dozen of my works on display.

"Sun Drenched II" textured sunflower painting by Niki Gulley

"Sun Drenched II" ©2012 Niki Gulley

30" x 48" • textured oil on cavan

Inspired by our trip to Provence last summer, I was awestruck by these massive fields of sunflowers blooming. Seeing this brilliant carpet of gold, with its sea of faces smiling towards the sun, just made me feel happy and I wanted you to experience that joy, too. In person “Sun Drenched II” practically leaps off the canvas with its vibrant yellow petals and extremely thick three-dimensional oil paint.

This painting and more of Niki Gulley's textured landscape paintings are on exhibit at American Fine Art Gallery in Dallas. See americanfineart.com for details.
