"Gondola Ride II," Venice ©2024 Niki Gulley
12" x 9" oil painting
SOLD!
I painted this piece on location during our Art Trek we taught in Venice while their infamous Carnival celebration was taking place. Since St. Mark's Square can get overrun with tourists, we chose to set up our easels along a side street to enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of the city. I love the magical light that comes flooding in through the canals and is so distinctive of Venice. The simple brick bridge and the one yellow building in the distance sets a perfect backdrop to the gondolier rowing his enchanted passengers through the romantic back canals.

We are excited to announce a new Art Trek for next year, where you will feel like you've stepped into a different time and world, like right out of a movie set. We're elated to be returning to Venice, Italy in February 2026 for the costumed fantasy that occurs during Carnival. We're already about half full, so let us know if you'd like to come along.
And, while our Switzerland Trek is completely booked this month, we actually have 2 spots open in our Tuscany Foodie Trek this coming September. Always everyone's favorite trip, please let us know if you would like to join us on that delicious gastronomic journey!
