“Table for Two” by Niki Gulley Pastel • 24” x 36” My husband and I honeymooned in Greece and fell in love with the island of Santorini. It has to be one of the most romantic spots we’ve ever seen.

"Santorini Sunset" ©2010 Niki Gulley 12" x 24" pastel Today I am feeling sentimental since my husband and I got together 7 years ago last week.

We fell in love with Santorini as so many others have done. Here is a view at the far end of the island in the town of Oia. I wanted to capture the "skyline," ocean view and the gorgeous sunset that night. Visit my website at NikiGulley.com Or e-mail me for more information at Niki@NikiGulley.com.
