New "Golden Textures" from Tuscany by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

"Golden Textures," Tuscany ©2020 Niki Gulley 
12" x 9" textured oil painting

On the last day of our Tuscany Foodie Trek, we explored nearby Pienza to enjoy its picturesque alleyways and amazing views of the valleys below. Having been home to Pope Pius II, the town is filled with interesting historical sites, great shopping, delicious lunch spots and plenty of interesting corners to paint. I chose this doorway since I loved the texture and color of the walls, the prolific potted ivy turning red in the fall sun, and the soft light raking across the scene. Welcome home!
