"Windows on the World" Oil Painting by Niki Gulley from Tuscany

  


"Windows on the World" ©2024 Niki Gulley
9" x 12" textured oil painting on panel

Inspired by Tuscany, you can almost imagine what the view must be like when you throw open the shutters and greet the morning as the scene unfolds below you! I loved the morning light raking across the building, casting long shadows and causing the textured stone and brick to tell its detailed history. And, there’s always one piece of laundry that refuses to dry as quickly as the others on the closthesline!

"Princess Gardens" in Edinburgh, Scotland Painting by Niki Gulley

 

"Princess Gardens" ©2021 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 12" x 9” textured oil painting

Scotland Art Trek – First Day: Edinburgh
Led by Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

Just Sold! On the first day of our plein air painting and photography trip to Scotland, we began our adventure in the Medieval capitol city of Edinburgh. Filled with energy, fascinating architecture and history, we were all struck by its uniqueness and beauty. While the photographers shot and explored the city, we set up our easels close to our hotel to paint the lovely Princess Gardens that run through the center of the city. I set out to capture the lush hydrangeas lining this intricate stairway with just a glimpse of the ferris wheel in the background while some of my students did the same and others set out to recreate the interesting architectural details of the buildings. That evening we all gathered for a delicious Michelin restaurant dinner and compared our stories from the day. With sunny skies and great company, our first day in Scotland turned out to be a great start to the trip!

"Sentimental Journey," Venice by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

"Sentimental Journey" ©2020 Niki Gulley
9" x 12" textured oil painting on panel

We took a vaporetto tour of Venice and got off at the Rialto bridge where we wandered the fruit, vegetable and fish markets. I set up my easel in this quiet spot, marking the oldest restaurant in Venice. This bridge had so much character being made completely of wood, decorated in plantings and flanked by red and white poles that I just had to paint it!

Plein Air Painting in Tuscany with Niki Gulley


"Magical Light, Tuscany" • 8" x 10" oil by Niki Gulley

ART TREKS: TUSCANY
 with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams



During our plein air painting workshop in Tuscany last September, we finished a delicious antipasto lunch of prosciuttos, local pecorino, fresh fruits and vegetables, and we headed into the hills for our afternoon painting location. Starting fairly late in the day, we timed it so that the light would be soft and golden as we were putting the finishing details on our paintings. For this painting, we focused in on one of the tuscan farmhouses, with just a suggestion of the peaks and valleys in the background. Between the quiet surroundings, the quintessential Tuscan vineyard behind us and the perfect weather conditions, this proved to be a very inspiring afternoon.




If you would like to join us on future ART TREKS to Paris, France in May, Tuscany, Italy in September, or Cinque Terre / Lake Como, Italy in September visit nikigulley.com/artreks. Registration deadline is Fri. Feb. 17th.
