"Place de Albertas," Aix-en-Provence, France ©2015 Niki Gulley 9" x 12" oil painting Day 3, Provence Art Trek: Aix-en-Provence Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop  with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Today we checked out of our hotel and headed to Provence's cultural hub and Cezanne's home, Aix-en-Provence. After visiting its famous Cours Mirabeau boulevard, lined with cafés and plane trees and its morning produce and flower market, we parted from the photographers and set up our easels at this picturesque fountain courtyard. Having several hours to paint, we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful day and each painter's unique view of the scene. Some focused on the fountain, others on the architecture and some on the nearby cafés. Everyone's painting turned out great! Painting in Aix-en-Provence Next, we headed deep into the lavender country to our picturesque b and b, where we spent the rest of the trip. And, of course we comp...

"Appalachian Homestead" by Kyle Wood 4" x 6" Oil on Canvas Here is one of my small paintings that I did this past week.  This cabin is located at Mountain Farm Museum in Cherokee, North Carolina, which is part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My wife and I have spent the last two summer vacations visiting this national park.  It is one of the largest national parks in the United States.  I like painting historical places and was impressed on how much history has been preserved here.  Both trips have provided me new inspiration / ideas for paintings.  For the painting, I decided to paint this scene in autumnal colors.  This painting will be part of my upcoming "Scenic Excursions" Solo Art Exhibit at The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, TX. Show Opens on Saturday, September 26th.  More details to come! To view more paintings, please visit me at   www.kwoodfineart.com . Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Joyful Day Contemporary Floral Landscape 60" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contact Kay Wyne for more info on this painting! I love to paint on a large surface.  It is liberating to make big wide brushstrokes with a brush or apply loads of paint with a palette knife.  A 60" x 36" canvas is fun, challenging and my image/subject matter is always changing....as you can see below I did stop and take some pics along my painting journey.   First, I had an idea in my head and thought that I would sketch it out with charcoal on the canvas.  Then I scrubbed in some colors.  And more colors.  Finally getting the white canvas covered up.  I wanted my color palette to be in cool lavenders and greys....and some greens.  I got off-track as you can see in the fifth photo.  I cut loose with some oranges, reds, and blues.  The next day when I came into the studio, I realized that I had gotten de-railed.  So I spent more t...

This work in progress is painted with Sennelier oil pastels on 12 x 9" Colourfix paper.  To see more of my artwork, please visit my blog at Hackberry Street Studio .

Day 3, Provence Art Trek: Les Baux / Chateauneuf Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop  with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams 7" x 5" textured oil painting On the second day of our Provence Art Trek, we visited the picturesque town of Les Baux, perched atop its rocky outcropping with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside below. Some folks visited the castle, galleries and shops while the painters set up in this quiet plaza capturing the unique stone residences, medieval cathedral or picturesque courtyard. In the afternoon we went to one of the most renowned wine towns in the world and sampled some amazing Chateaunef du Pape wines. Next summer we will be leading an Art Trek to Spain and the following year we will be headed to Tuscany, England and Ireland, so if you've always dreamed of painting, photographing and sightseeing in Europe, please join us for one of these amazing trip!

Pipe Down Mark Nesmith Oil on Canvas 8" x 10" 2015 Click  here  to bid on this painting. I'm not a bird watcher exactly. I don't know the names of them all. I don't carry binoculars and I don't really seek out avian life, but I often notice birds, particularly when I'm at the beach.  Lately I've been plugging away mainly on larger canvases, often spending a few weeks or more coming back again and again to work on the same images.  Now that my shows at Third Coast Gallery in Galveston and Davis Gallery & Framing in Austin are in full swing I thought I'd get back to some smaller daily paintings I could finish in a couple of hours and just relax a little.  I recently stopped off at Bolivar Flats and a couple of other beaches on my way back from the gallery in Galveston to shoot some reference photos and make a quick sketch or two of the sunset.  Bolivar Flats is sort of a mecca for bird watchers and photographers, and as usual t...

Day 1, Afternoon Location: Arles  Provence Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams 9" x 12" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley In the afternoon, we visited the ancient Roman city of Arles, marveling at its in tact amphitheater from 90 AD, triumphal arch, and ancient theater, while retracing the footsteps of Van Gogh and seeing his colorful vision of rather ordinary painting locations. Last stop on our Van Gogh tour, we chose to paint at the asylum where he stayed, creating our own versions of the lovely courtyard garden. That night, we feasted on mussels, sea bream, various meat dishes and mouth-watering pastries at an award-winning restaurant. Bon Appetit!
