Palette Knife Painting in Iceland with Niki Gulley

 

20" x 10” textured acrylic painting on panel by Niki Gulley

Just Sold! Another quaint house in this idyllic Icelandic landscape. Another challenging painting day in 40 mph winds! And yet another painting created from the rental car’s front seat. Are you picking up a trend??? I really did love their picturesque front yard, the beautiful golden afternoon light, and how flattered the home owner was that I was capturing his house!

Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley Paints Iceland's Enchanting Coast

      

"Protected Cove" 9" x 12” textured acrylic painting on panel by Niki Gulley

For my last Iceland painting, the skies parted, the rain lifted and the wind all but disappeared. It turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous 70 degree sunshine-filled day. The way the light hit this peaceful cove, I just had to capture the beauty of the moment, vowing to return despite our week! I hope you, too, can feel the joy and tranquility of this magical land.

Painting Iceland's Gorgeous Coastline in Palette Knife by Niki Gulley

  

"Floating Contemplation" 10" x 20"  textured acrylic painting on panel by Niki Gulley

Every day when we left our Iceland hotel to explore the country’s other worldly scenery, we would pass this house situated next to the ocean. Nestled between the Atlantic and inland estuaries, I could just imagine what the idyllic views would be like staying there. So today we stopped so I could capture this serene escape, and bring you along with us.

Plein Air Painting in Iceland with Artist Niki Gulley

    

"Relaxing View" 9" x 12” textured acrylic painting on panel by Niki Gulley

Today the painters in our Art Treks group stayed right on the beautiful grounds of our hotel to paint the dramatic scenery. Meanwhile, our photographers and tourists went off exploring. We had the day all to ourselves with the exception of the curious hotel staff, who loved our paintings so much, they featured us on their Instagram page!

For our second painting that day, I chose this relaxing view from our patio. The Atlantic sits in the distance and the two chairs invite you to have a seat, take in nature's beauty and leave all of your worries behind.

Palette Knife Waterfall Painting by Niki Gulley

"Cascading" 20" x 10" textured acrylic painting on canvas panel by Niki Gulley

So many waterfalls, so little time! The weather dried out, warmed up and the “breeze” calmed down in Iceland today. Yeah!!! I was in my element getting to paint this amazing 500 foot tall, mult-tiered cascade. I hope you, too, can feel the joy, peace and energy of this beautiful location.
