Painting in Tuscany with Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

"Flowering Destination" ©2025 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 16" x 20" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

When we pulled into this villa in Italy, I thought I'd walked into a fantasy land! Gorgeous Roman architecture surrounded by the most beautiful rose gardens in every direction. I could just imagine holding the most romantic wedding here, and how happy all of your guests would be. I hope you, too, can escape into these idyllic grounds and absorb the beauty of Tuscany.

Uplifting Palette Knife Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

 

 

"Sunshine Serenade" ©2026 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 16" x 20" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel 

Started on location in Tuscany, these bright, smiling faces just lifted my spirits and I had to paint them to share their cheer with you! Beyond these joyous sunflowers, the quintessential Tuscan farmhouse has the best view of the surrounding valleys. Misty clouds rise from the horizon as cooler nights meet warmer days and set the stage of the magical light and dreamy allure of Tuscany. The resulting painting is full of warmth, color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

Set against a gorgeous blue sky on a warm, sunny day - check. I don't think this one needs any explanation as to why I had to paint it!

Tuscany Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

 

"Misty Morning," Tuscany ©2022 Niki Gulley

16" x 20" textured oil painting

SOLD! On this morning in Tuscany, we decided to get up really early so that we could capture sunrise over this beautiful valley. The hills were surrounded by a layer of mist that created this ethereal, peaceful quality to the morning. I really liked how the fog accentuated the miles and miles of rolling landscape, perfectly off-setting the villa surrounded by cypress and olive groves in the foreground. While I’m not usually an early morning person, this turned out to be a very inspiring moment!

"Coming Home" New Palette Knife Painting from Tuscany by Niki Gulley

   

"Coming Home" ©2024 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 20" x 10" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

Just sold through the Good Art Company Gallery! Inspired by our travels to Italy, cypress trees rise out of the vast open landscape signaling that you have arrived in Tuscany! Perched on a hilltop with the best views of the surrounding valleys, this villa is set against the perfect backdrop for a romantic escape. The long curving driveway and undulating wheatfields draw your eye back through the rolling hills. Beautiful, billowing clouds drift overhead.  Early morning light casts dramatic shadows creating a rhythm beckoning you to journey up the drive, guiding you to your new getaway you can call home.
