  “Sunny Horizon" ©2019 Niki Gulley SOLD  • 30" x 48" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas Just Sold through The Good Art Company Gallery!  Inspired by a trip through the Midwest, I was filled with joy seeing this solid field of gold! At the same time, the clouds above were so voluminous and dramatic that I had to recreate the scene. The horizon stretches out before us as festive blossoms dance in the early evening glow. Leaving my strokes loose and free and working with palette knife to create volume and texture, all add to the energy of the painting. I hope you, too, can feel the peace and happiness of being surrounded by nature in all of its glory, staring into the clouds while soaking in the moment.

"Pearls of Sunshine," Aix-en-Provence, France ©2020 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 com...

"Diagonal Patterns," Provence ©2018 Niki Gulley SOLD  • 9" x 12" textured oil painting Just sold through the Good Art Company Gallery!  I painted "Diagonal Patterns" on location in Provence during our Plein Air Painting and Photography Art Trek Workshop my husband and I led in France. The lavender fields were amazing, and stretched as far as the eye could see! I wanted to focus on these perfectly planted purple rows, contrasted against the vibrant yellow sunflowers in the distance. I loved how those colors popped next to each other! I chose to lower the horizon line so that I could include these amazing clouds drifting by in diagonal patterns that mimicked the lavender aisles.  That also gave the painting an idea of space so that you could sense the fragrant purple beauties stretching for miles. Painted with palette knife and thick oil paint, the final image is loaded with color, texture and movement!   T he Good Art Company Gallery -  gooda...

"Cascading Roses" ©2019 Niki Gulley  SOLD  • 9" x 12" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley Day 6, Provence Art Trek:  Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop  with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Just Sold!  On the last day of our Provence Art Trek, we decided to stay right at our b and b to paint since it was so beautiful. Meanwhile the photographers explored the nearby area and others just relaxed by the pool. Choosing what to paint was a challenge since the grounds are so picturesque. Myself and another painter set up our easels by this lovely courtyard, with this stately tree surrounded by cascading roses, while another chose to paint lavender lined walkway and another set up by the ancient Roman bridge on the back of the property. It was a gorgeous morning and everyone's paintings turned out great! That evening we gathered for a final critique and "show and tell" from the trip. The photographers presented their best images...

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...
