Rancho de Taos Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

"Soft Light"  ©2020 Niki Gulley 12" x 9" oil painting  Ever since I saw the early photographs of Ranchos de Taos I have been inspired by it. So whenever we go to Santa Fe, I have to make a pilgrimage to Taos so that I can find a new way to compose this magnificent structure.  If you're interested in purchasing this painting, just follow this link    http://nikigulley.com/ soft-light /. To see framing options, please e-mail me. *** If you'd like to receive daily e-mails about these new paintings as soon as I finish them and a chance to purchase them before anyone else, please follow me on Facebook or Instagram. And, if you know anyone else who might be interested, I'd really appreciate it you could pass this along. Thank you! E-mail  Niki Gulley .   NikiGulley.com

Painting Rancho de Taos with Niki Gulley

SANTA FE ART TREK:  Plein Air Painting / Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams   Day 3, morning location - Rancho de Taos 10" x 8" textured oil by Niki Gulley On day 3 of our Santa Fe Art Trek, we headed north to paint Rancho de Taos, made famous in paint by Georgia O'Keefe and in film by Ansel Adams. Today each of my students saw the adobe structure differently, and each chose a unique perspective of the building. Spending most of the morning helping everyone with perspective and getting accurate angles on this tricky pueblo, I had just enough time to do a quick  palette knife sketch of a close up of the church. Choosing vibrant golds and reds for the bell tower set against a gorgeous cobalt sky, really made the colors sing!
