18" x 18" textured acrylic painting on canvas ©2022 Niki Gulley
I couldn't resist painting another day in this beautiful rose garden in Tuscany. Feeling ambitious today and not wanting to be constrained capturing the gorgeous scene on a small canvas, I decided to work much larger. I was attracted to these bountiful climbing roses framing the villa in the distance as they stretched across this arched trellis. Wanting to keep this piece loose and free, I created abstract passages in the scene so these crimson beauties could be the star. Running out of time on location, I'll finish this piece in my studio with a few final touches to pull everything together, but retain the mood of a dreamlike reality.
