New Commissioned Oil Painting from Lake Como by Niki Gulley

  Lake Como, Italy ©2022 Niki Gulley SOLD  • oil on canvas • 24" x 48" Just Delivered to a good new home! Lake Como, Italy is probably my favorite spot from all of our travels, so I was thrilled when my collectors asked me to paint a custom painting from this region. The vistas are simply breathtaking with the alps in the background, the gorgeous blue of the lake, the brightly colored unique buildings and the lush foliage dotting the magnificent gardens. I love this little laid back town of Varenna, which is so peaceful that all of your cares just melt away. I'm sure my commissioned painting will help bring back fond memories for my collectors of their travelers and bring some peace and joy to their beautiful home!

12" x 9" oil painting by Niki Gulley Day 5, Lake Como: Villa Balbianello   CINQUE TERRE / LAKE COMO ART TREK Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams On the fifth day of our Cinque Terre / Lake Como Art Trek, we awoke to a gorgeous morning. We rode the ferry to Lenno, and then arrived in style by private water taxi at the beautiful, lush Villa Balbianello. Perched on a cliff overlooking the lake, the manor and tropical gardens are immaculately maintained and exquisite. While difficult to figure out how to capture that beauty on film or canvas, we were up for the challenge and loved every minute of the idyllic setting.  If you'd like to join us in  Cinque Terre / Lake Como  for our next Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop Sept. 12th-21st , please let me know. The workshop is already half full and a final registration deadline of this Saturday is quickly approaching, so sign up soon!...
