The Sound of Music Comes to Life in Niki Gulley's Switzerland Painting

After leading our Switzerland Art Trek, my husband and I stayed a couple of extra days to enjoy more of the gorgeous scenery. Returning to one of my favorite locations, we revisited the bountiful alpine garden above Interlaken. Fortunately, the morning was warmer and clearer and I had this beautiful unobstructed view of the distant mountains and valley. Going vertical to give you a sense of just how tall these awe-inspiring peaks are, I set out to capture the feeling of that majestic expanse. You're so high up that you're practically eye level with the distant clouds rolling in over the snow-capped alps. Joyful wildflowers dance in the foreground and I could practically hear Julie Andrews singing out The Sound of Music!
