Day 2, Riomaggiore:  CINQUE TERRE / LAKE COMO ART TREK Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Just Sold!  On the second day of our plein-air painting and photography workshop in Cinque Terre, Italy, the sun was shining and we rode the train to the southern-most city of Riomaggiore. Setting up our easels right near the water, we enjoyed the cathartic sounds of the waves crashing against the rocky shore as we painted. I chose this view looking back at the intricate puzzle of stacked houses lining the hills while some of my students chose to paint the rocky cliffs and ocean surf. While I couldn't quite finish this piece before our morning light disappeared, you can see my progress below.

"Autumn Concerto II" ©2018 Niki Gulley 16" x 20" textured oil painting  I'm excited to announce that Seaside Gallery in Pismo Beach, CA is now representing my work. "Autumn Concerto II" along with several of my textured contemporary impressionistic oil paintings will now be on display in their beautiful gallery. To contact them about this painting, please follow the link below. I painted these colorful birch trees on location with the fall hues emerging in all of their glory. I loved this grove of trunks that twisted and turned, slicing bright white through the tangle of autumn leaves. Painted over several mornings, the air was crisp but the sun made for beautiful painting conditions that illuminated the subject and warmed the air. I hope you, too, can feel the thrill of being surrounded by nature on a perfect fall day. Seaside Gallery 580 Cypress Street Pismo Beach, California (805) 773-8057 theseasidegallery.com *** If ...

"Autumn Concerto" ©2018 Niki Gulley 16" x 20" textured oil painting  After we finished teaching our New England Fall Foliage Art Trek, my husband, Scott Williams, and I stayed in beautiful Vermont for another week. Each day we ventured out to capture the beautiful fall foliage on canvas and film before its intensity faded.

Montepulciano ©2018 Niki Gulley • 12" x 9" textured oil painting •  SOLD Day 2, Tuscany Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Just sold!  The next morning of our Tuscany Art Trek, we headed to the wine town of Montepulciano.

After lunch, we visited two wineries nearby to sample their Rossos, Vino Nobiles and the delicious sweet dessert wine, Vin Santo. Full from the local meats and cheeses and tasty red wines, we headed back to the villa for a quiet night of relaxing and soaking in the evening scenery.

From Amy's Garden 12x9 oil on wood panel I snagged more of my neighbor, Amy's sunflowers. I set up this still life in the sun.

5" x 7" oil painting by Niki Gulley •  SOLD Day 4:   Ireland ART TREK Cliffs of Moher Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Just sold!  On the fourth morning of our Ireland Art Trek, we explored the exotic Cliffs of Moher. Unfortunately, we received some of that Irish sunshine and only got in a quick glimpse before the sideways rain and wind got the best of us. Rather than let a few raindrops stop us, I put my easel in my lap in the van and created this view of the cliffs in between storms. It turned out to be a great day! That night we dined again on a delicious seafood dinner at a cozy garden restaurant nearby. *** If you're interested in joining us on one of upcoming Art Treks, please let us know.  Spaces fill up quickly!

"Abbey de Senanque," Provence ©2015 Niki Gulley SOLD • 5 " x 7" oil painting Day 5, Provence Art Trek: the Luberon Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop  with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Just Sold!  After a peaceful day in the countryside, we headed to the Luberon hill towns today. Starting our journey at the Abbey de Senanque, some of our group toured the twelfth century sanctuary's interior, while others painted and photographed the lavender fields and grounds surrounding the abbey. Next we traveled to the red and gold colored town of Roussillon, known for its ochre cliffs. Filled with picturesque views, art galleries, restaurants and interesting shops, everyone enjoyed having some free time to wander before we took off for the Pont Julien bridge. The Roman bridge, dating from 3 BC and constructed without mortar, is an architectural marvel that was still driven on until 2005! After surveying the bridge, we headed back to our b and b...
