undefined method `pictures' for nil:NilClass

I'm making a photo gallery using paperclip and keep getting this error 

undefined method `pictures' for nil:NilClass

when creating a new picture. I have all of my associations set up and like

gallery -> has_many :pictures
picture -> belongs_to :gallery

and in my pictures.controller I have 

def create
  @picture = @gallery.pictures.new(picture_params)
  respond_to do |format|
  if @picture.save
    format.html { redirect_to @picture, notice: 'Picture was successfully created.' }
    format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @picture }
  else
    format.html { render :new }
    format.json { render json: @picture.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
  end
end

I've spent the last day trying to figure this out.

All we can really tell you based on what is posted is that @gallery is nil. You actually have to assign something to @gallery, Rails contains no boilerplate code to populate that variable for you.
