New White Rock Lake Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

“Long Shadows” White Rock Lake ©2014 Niki Gulley
12” x 24” oil on canvas

Sunset draws lengthening shadows across the grassy waters edge at Sunset Bay, White Rock. The lake shimmers in the evening glow as sky high above fills with deep blues and before you the soft, moody colors stretch out, long lines beckoning you into the complex diagonal composition. Rich texture models the leaves, branches and tree trunk rimmed in the sunset and shadow. Vivid masses of color form the foliage on the opposite bank, fall at its peak. The long cast shadows draw you into the tranquil landscape and the peaceful, dreamy sunset at White Rock Lake.

Abstract Seascape, "Sunset" by Carol Schiff, 11x14 Acrylic

Living next to the sea, I try to visit the beach at daybreak as often as possible.  Of course, this means starting my day a little earlier than usual.


$135. + 15


To make my life a little easier, I decided to do  a sunset, a memory of my visits on the west coast of Florida.

I added some texture to the canvas and attacked with my acrylics.  Acrylics are always risky for me.  I don't use them often enough to feel in control.  I think, my goal for 2013 will be to use them on a more regular basis and see where they may take me.  I enjoy abstract and mixed media and acrylics are the media of choice for these works.

I would love to hear any advise you wish to share on acrylics.

"Inspired by the Hydrangeas of Wales" by Karla Nolan



Yes, I AM part Welsh!  My mother's family came from a tiny town near Aberystwyth, a university town, and my husband, two daughters and I have been to visit our distant relatives, one time meeting my father there, also, he loved the Welsh relatives...with good reason.  Whilst there (don't I sound fancy!), I had the pleasure of viewing many beautifully hued hydrangeas blooming in a garden in Tenby, in the month of July, no less.  It was much cooler than we had anticipated, the weather was much like that of Scotland, cool, misty, foggy, and green, with a great deal of sheep and lambs about..  I loved it!  And my relatives there are wonderful, I hope we do get to see them again.  (I am also Jewish, so you can imagine how difficult life is with the native languages, Hebrew and Welsh, virtually impossible for me to learn either.  Oh well.)

New "Highlands Sunset" Palette Knife oil painting by Niki Gulley

"Highlands Sunset" ©2014 Niki Gulley
12" x 24" textured oil painting

We came across this gorgeous sunset while visiting the Highlands in Scotland. Between the intense colors in the sky, the wide lake spreading before us and the enchanting hills in the distance, I just had to paint this scene. I chose a panorama format to give you a better feeling for its expansive beauty and peacefulness.

To The Sea by Janet Bludau, Abstract, Palette Knife, Landscapes and Seascapes


12" x 12" on Deep Birch Panel
Ready to hang alone or with "Meandering" and "As Far As The Eye Can See"
These 2 additional pieces can be found on my website
The wood sides have been waxed with a clear Briwax and buffed

There is a red underpainting applied in the first stage of this painting.
After that I have gone in and added layers, changing parts of the painting as I go.
The last stage is where I took several Oil Sticks to the grass areas and also scratched into the oil with palette knives. 


Daily Painting, Shell Still Life, "Queen Conch" by Carol Schiff, 8x10" Oil

I found this Queen Conch shell on the beach during a trip to the Abaco Islands.  The Abaco Islands are a small, but beautiful chain of quaint islands off the shore of Florida.  Easy to travel to and with all beautiful unspoiled beaches, great fishing and diving and just plain relaxing.  They are not on the tourist route, which is an added bonus.

Purchase here
150 + shipping
I placed it in an east facing window one morning, and got a remarkable glow as the sun shone through the shell.  It seemed to be on fire and I tried to capture that beauty here.




Maybe not quite as nice as a trip to the islands, but a close second!   Every time I see it, I can feel sand between my toes.

Marsh Painting, Small Oil Painting, "North Florida Marsh" by Carol Schiff, 6x6x1.5"

Most of my paintings are done from photo references, but sometimes I like to work from memory.  This little marsh painting is one of the memories.

Purchase here
90 + shipping
 I was thinking of the beautiful marshes around Jacksonville, FL and southern Georgia when I painted this.  We travel the route often and I am always frustrated because I cannot get a decent image of the scene when buzzing down the interstate at 70 MPH.

"River Hues" by Janice Tingum

River Hues by Janice Tingum
acrylic on canvas
12" x 12"

This painting was a lot of fun to create! After blocking in the initial layer of paint with a brush, I switched to my palette knife and built up layers of color and texture. Although this piece was done in the studio, my goal was to capture the essence of the river scene on the day I stood along its banks.

English Garden White Roses and Dallas Arboretum Artscape - Flower Paintings by Nancy Medina

 English Garden White Roses
by Nancy Medina
24X30
Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas




The U-Haul is all loaded with over 100 new paintings, with my yellow director's chairs and my new rolling table with my new hydrangea tablecloth, and my purse is full of sunscreen, bubblegum and chocolate. I can't imagine anything more I need to have a successful art show in the garden during Dallas Arboretum Artscape except for one super important ingredient - YOU! You are invited to join me for my only outdoor show of the year this weekend in Booth 43, April 26-27, with a member preview Friday evening from 6 to 8 pm. I've doubled the size of my tent for 2014, so you'll get to see twice as many flower paintings. You could even move some living room furniture in there and sit down with a bowl of popcorn or take a nap under awning number two. The possibilities are endless! 

I'm always excited to visit the Arboretum, after all, it's the incredible staff in the Adult Education Department who first convinced me to start teaching flower painting over 4 years ago. Little did I know, I was about to embark on the most enjoyable chapter in my life, my work as a flower painting instructor. Wear your comfy shoes and bring your camera and join me in the gardens, I'll be the lady in the pink apron with just a dab of green paint on her nose....

Abstract Tulips floral painting Palette knife painting by Marion Hedger


Abstract Tulips floral painting
Palette knife painting by Marion Hedger
18x24cm (approx 7"x10")
Oil on canvas board
Available in my Etsy shop

This was painted while the tulips were in their prime brightening up the garden. It started out as impressionist/realism but I got carried away. I took a palette knife to the surface and swiped it over the painting. This gave a lovely loose abstract feel. A few lines finished off the painting.

Some close-ups
