  "Princess Gardens" ©2021 Niki Gulley SOLD • 12" x 9” textured oil painting Scotland Art Trek –  First Day: Edinburgh Led by Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Just Sold!  On the first day of our plein air painting and photography trip to Scotland, we began our adventure in the Medieval capitol city of Edinburgh. Filled with energy, fascinating architecture and history, we were all struck by its uniqueness and beauty. While the photographers shot and explored the city, we set up our easels close to our hotel to paint the lovely Princess Gardens that run through the center of the city. I set out to capture the lush hydrangeas lining this intricate stairway with just a glimpse of the ferris wheel in the background while some of my students did the same and others set out to recreate the interesting architectural details of the buildings. That evening we all gathered for a delicious Michelin restaurant dinner and compared our stories from the day. With sunny skies and great c...

The Gift of the Tree~ Lenore Hetrick Trees offer to those who love them a message of peace and rest.  They bring the glow of the setting sun as it vanishes in the west.  T hey tell of the years that swiftly pass, with little mark or scar. They tell of evenings that know naught but calm of evening star.  Trees offer to those who love them infinite wisdom and grace.  Underneath their boughs tree lovers see eternity's face. This tree stands in Fredericksburg, TX at Fort Martin Scott. If you'd like to read about it, here is the link. Good Texas history. https://fbgtx.org/416/Ft-Martin-Scott www.melissaatorresart.com For prints and other merchandise visit FineArtAmerica . Follow me on Facebook . Follow me on Instagram .

 I have a dear friend, and collector of my art, that lives in Virginia. We have never met in person, I only know him via Facebook, but I feel like I have known him most of my life. He is a Veteran and a graduate of West Point. He is a wonderful poet and photographer. He posts wonderful pictures of the view from his home. I painted one of them, with his permission, of course. www.melissaatorresart.com For prints and other merchandise visit FineArtAmerica . Follow me on Facebook . Follow me on Instagram .

  I spent a few days in Rockport, TX, enjoying the beautiful views provided by Aransas Bay. The weather was not too cooperative on some days, and on this day, it was changing quickly. It was difficult not to change the painting with it.  I did a quick painting from our hotel balcony. This was practice in not including every detail I see. It was done loosely with a palette knife. I really enjoy painting this way, although it is difficult for me as well as I am usually very detailed. www.melissaatorresart.com For prints and other merchandise visit  FineArtAmerica .
