Colorful Birch Tree Painting from Vermont by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

October 17, 2023

The weather turned quickly in Vermont! From 80 to 50 and solid rain in just a day. So here I took advantage of my last chance to paint while it was dry and there were still autumn leaves on the trees. I hope the scenery brings you as much joy as I felt while painting this!

Capturing Vermont’s Fall Foliage with Palette Knife Painter Niki Gulley

October 16, 2023

The color explosion in northern Vermont was out of this world, and I just had to capture its fleeting beauty. So, we found a nice big place to park the RV and I was able to work larger again today. The reds were so vibrant and intense on this maple that it had to be my focus. Feeling like a kid with the excitement of the colors, I chose this uplifting view reminiscent of laying on the ground as a child and staring up into the treetops and sky. Totally lost in the moment and not a care in the world, I hope you are transported to a similar happy memory from your youth!

Painting, Cider and Cheddar Cheese Tasting in Stowe, VT with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

October 12, 2023

We’ve landed in Stowe, Vermont and it is ridiculously beautiful. We are parked at the Van Trapp grounds and it is actually quite hot at 85 degrees today!!! In fact it was so warm, I chose to paint from inside our camper today of these gorgeous, vibrant forested mountain views. Our dining room window forms a panorama shape, and I love how that frames the scenery. So I figured I should paint some views this way, too.

On a side note, internet has basically been nonexistent at our Vermont campsites and in the mountains. Since we couldn’t get any computer work, we figured we’d just have to go into town to sample some delicious cheese and cider. Yum!

New Textured Birch Trees Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

October 5, 2023

Can you really get enough birch trees??? I love their white peeling bark and vivid changing leaves. Hugging the shoreline of this peaceful lake, may these vertical beauties lift your spirits and bring some joyful color to your day!

And, it turns out this was my last time to paint in Acadia National Park due to a truck hitting and destroying our side mirror (which led us down a several hour repair mission.) Luckily Scott cobbled something together and we’re all set for the next part of our Fall Foliage Freedom Tour. Stay tuned…

Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley Paints Maine’s Coasline

October 4, 2023

Since the leaves are just barely turning and we are in Acadia National Park, after all, I just had to paint this gorgeous ocean view that screams we are in Maine! Fascinating rock cliffs surrounded by pine trees, an endless expanding horizon, and listening to the crashing waves as they approach the shore, are just what the doctor ordered. How does it make you feel?

New “Between the Birches” Fall Foliage Painting from Maine by Niki Gulley

October 3, 2023

Back for day 2 in Arcadia National Park! I’m so glad we allowed for a few days here. Today we are in our RV, so parking is a bigger challenge. But, we found this beautiful spot alongside the road with plenty of room to park. The birches are starting to turn colors and I love this peaceful lake view. I hope it transports you to serenity, too!

Oh Maine! Such rugged beauty! In this piece I painted just outside of Bar Harbor, you can see the beginnings of fall hues.

New “Cadillac Mountain” Painting from Acadia National Park by Niki Gulley

September 29, 2023

Today we arrived in Acadia National Park in Maine and since no RV’s are allowed at the summit, we rode our scooter to the top of Cadillac Mountain. It was gorgeous! But there is not much room for art supplies in our little scooter’s storage compartment, so I packed my 5″ x 7″ paint gear and sat down on a fairly comfy boulder to paint this scenic view. With the first hints of fall in the ground cover adding a fun pop of red, I set out to capture this beautiful view of the rocks, pine trees, jagged hills and ocean.
