Abstract Landscape Painting, Mixed Media, Water, Trees, Fine Art For Sale, “Living Water” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

 

Why are we so fascinated with water? We go to the beach and spend hours watching the waves. We find a pond and stare at the plants growing and look for life amongst them. This painting was inspired by a visit to an area near my home that I love to visit, an arboretum here in Houston, a gem hidden away in the middle of the city. It had been a hectic few days and just standing there and staring at the pond water was what I needed to relax. Yes, this was indeed “ Living Water”and the longer I stared at it my mind went to several references in The Bible that spoke of living water relating to a knowledge of God, a relationship with Him and the everlasting life that is available through Jesus. I tried to capture some of what I felt that day with paint and have it to share with you! Thank you for taking the time to read this and look at my painting!

Contemporary Landscape Painting,Cows,Pasture, Mixed Media, Trees, Fine Art For Sale, “Second Gathering” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

 

Sometimes I wonder if anyone thinks the colors I use in a painting are what my eyes see when viewing my inspiration. The answer is no. I just love to exaggerate and explore relationships between color families to tell the story of the moment. This painting illustrates a routine of gathering together and heading home. My goal was to push the colors in such a way that you might pause a moment to linger as you stared at the painting and then maybe go so far as to define for yourself what "Second Gathering" means to you. Many layers of texture and color weave together the multiple layers of meaning.

New "Forest's Edge" Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

"Forest's Edge" ©2019 Niki Gulley

36" x 60" textured oil painting on canvas

I love being immersed in nature. After living in a city surrounded by concrete and noise, I find being surrounded by mother nature to be extremely cathartic, peaceful and rejuvenating. In Forest Edge, I wanted to capture those feelings of happiness and tranquility. Working first with thin drippy paint, and then building up thick layers of oil paint with palette knives to achieve extreme dimension, this painting is loaded with movement, energy and color. I hope it lifts your spirits and recharges your batteries while bringing texture, joy and the outdoors inside your home.

New "Floating Expressions" Series Aspen Tree Paintings by Niki Gulley

"Floating Expressions III" ©2019 Niki Gulley

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

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.

Contemporary Landscape Painting,Cows,Pasture, Mixed Media, Water, Trees, Fine Art For Sale, “When Two or More Gather” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

What are these cows up to? As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a city girl and I just love getting out away from home, driving past the open fields and wondering about the cows that I see hanging around! Are they bored? Are they happy standing around? Do they ever worry about anything? When I saw this group of cows gathered together under the tree I imagined this was their meeting place to discuss and review what was going on in each of their lives. (Ok, yes, I’m projecting a human experience onto them but it is my imagination so it’s allowed!) While watching these three I just couldn’t stop with imagining a group of 4-legged women discussing a variety of everyday topics but instead began to think about “When Two Or More Gather” that if they are capable then maybe they are actually praying about something. I know this is quite a stretch but I wanted to share the moment with you. Isn’t it nice to get away from normal expected routines to stretch your imagination? Take a break and get away from the stresses of everyday living and just appreciate what is out and around you....Enjoy!

New "Rhythm Reflections" Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

"Rhythm Reflections" ©2019 Niki Gulley

36" x 60" textured oil painting on canvas

I love being immersed in nature. After living in a city surrounded by concrete and noise, I find being surrounded by mother nature to be extremely cathartic, peaceful and rejuvenating. In Rhythm Reflections, I became fascinated with the mirror reflection on the aspen trees in the water below the horizon line. With the lake surface slightly blurring the individual leaves, patterns started emerging that created a sort of rhythm that I found mesmerizing. Working first with thin drippy paint, and then building up thick layers of oil paint with palette knives to achieve extreme dimension, this painting is loaded with movement, energy and color. Leaving the composition slightly abstracted gives you a chance to form your own contemplative narrative with nature.
