"Memories of Sunshine II" Palette Knife Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

"Memories of Sunshine II" ©2019 Niki Gulley

30" x 40" textured painting on wrap around canvas

"Memories of Sunshine" was inspired by our trip to Provence, France last summer. Our timing was perfect and the sunflowers were in full bloom. 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 full of warmth, color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

Commissioned Sunflower Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

30" x 30” textured oil painting ©2017 Niki Gulley • SOLD

Just shipped! I was commissioned to paint this cheerful sunflower painting for a family in central Texas. Huge sunflowers fill the fields, bright, sunny and cheerful. Warm golden petals glow above purple shadows and shimmer before violet hills, just as the sun begins to set filling the sky with radiant gold. Bold strokes capture these sunflowers in thick impasto colors that vibrate across the canvas, all designed to add joy and color to their home.

Earth Child Sunflowers was one of my class demonstrations in North Texas recently, created quickly with my 3/4 inch flat $1.50 brush, the one brush I use for almost every painting in Flower Mound Studio. How I love these brushes! I received a note this morning from a collector who lives in a village near Leeds, in the United Kingdom, just north of London. She was kind enough to share a picture of her region when I asked (I am ALWAYS wanting pictures of the English countryside!) and the breathtaking skyline of Whitby, quaint orange buildings along a riverfront with the ruins of a gothic abbey along a clifftop in the distance, once featured in Bram Stoker's Dracula!

Day 4 Sunflower Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Sunflower 

Not sure of the size, I forgot to measure it but I think it is 5 x 7 
and it is oil on watercolor paper.  

Okay, this one really dates back to 1999.  This is for the sunflower lover to realize the joy of the sun every day in their life. 

Winner announce tomorrow.

Moonglow Sunflowers is the newest still life in Flower Mound Studio this week, painted on an evening when the moon was bright after a rainy July day. These sunflowers and lilies are still fresh, though my peonies bid their adieu this morning after a ride back and forth to the farm with me for one more painting. I'm still having fond thoughts of the warehouses of fresh blossoms that filled Floral Row in downtown St. Louis where I visited last week, and wondering what was in those big rooms I didn't even venture into. I suppose one giant rubbermaid cart piled with flowers was enough for one workshop. Something to dream about until I return there to teach again next spring!

Windswept Sunflowers was one of my three demonstrations today, closing out a workshop in St. Louis, Missouri, with 18 talented artists! I'll be sharing more photos in the next few days so stay tuned to my art blog. Here's a detail from my larger sunflower demo this weekend, starring this beautiful vase my hostess Sharon let us use in class this weekend. You guessed it, now I'm looking for a similar vase, high and low, on Ebay and Amazon - move over Big Blue!

My Garden Sunflowers by Artist of Texas, Sheri Jones

My Garden Sunflowers 

24x18 oil on canvas

Painting in my own garden is a great way to spend a Saturday morning.   I find it easier to paint the larger canvases when I do. I always start with a paint brush and draw the basic structure. I paint the dark areas next . I quickly switch over to the palette knife and let the paint fly.  This is available for purchase. $650.00

I wanted to go big, bold and bright with Flame and Shadow, so piled under layers and layers of color, ending with thick, fast, large strokes of hot color. It's a toasty day in Texas this week, and my helpers are lounging indoors under the AC, snoring on their super cushy orthopedic beds, awaiting second or third snack time. It's important they receive multiple snacks to help them survive the interminable few hours between their three meals a day.... With the exception perhaps of never getting to taste chocolate pie, it might be really nice to be a Pug.

Sunflowers and Clematis was my morning demonstration in Lees Summit, Missouri. I was absolutely delighted to be able to use this beautiful vase belonging to the workshop hostess, Connie, whom I suspect is a cousin to Martha Stewart, considering Connie's amazing lunch spread replete with key lime pie for dessert garnished with fresh strawberries! What a perfect day painting with lovely gals from around the region, and what an awesome vase color for bright, cheery sunflowers to perch within!

Happy Days Sunflowers was my demonstration for the Trinity Arts Guild in North Texas yesterday evening, one of the oldest art clubs in the state. What an honor to paint for a group of master painters and teachers, and the nicest group of artists you could meet, including one of my favorite instructors and friends, Fran Chausse White! I named Happy Days tonight in honor of what I really think should be happening in terms of life today. Am I the only person who wonders about this new age which finds death and sadness and horror in movies, television, and film entertaining? There are not enough happy days in our lives, and I am determined to keep right on swimming against this awful tide. Read more...
