Rancho de Taos Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

August 14, 2020

12″ x 9″ oil painting

I can’t go to Santa Fe without making a stop at Ranchos de Taos. This church has almost become synonymous with the area. With its strong base and beautiful smooth lines it has created a certain grace and elegance that sets it apart from the rest.

Just Sold “Morning Shadows” from Santa Fe by Niki Gulley

June 2, 2017

“Morning Shadows,” Santa Fe • SOLD
9″ x 12″ textured oil by Niki Gulley

Just Sold! During our Santa Fe Art Trek, we visited this peaceful little street where each home is postcard perfect. Between the unique adobe architecture, the dramatic morning light, and the beautiful plantings surrounding each home, it was hard to choose what to paint! Each student found something different that excited them, and I became fascinated with this window and rain spout, and the deep shadows they were casting. I also loved the glowing Russian sage against the golden terra cotta wall and the beautiful plum tree in the distance.

Day 5 – Plein Air Painting Workshop in Santa Fe

August 29, 2011

Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop in Santa Fe, NM

Day 5, location: downtown Santa Fe

On our last morning of our Santa Fe workshop, we headed back to downtown Santa Fe and settled in a quiet shady spot to paint the geometric adobe architecture of the Loretto Inn. After a week of painting everyday, everyone was loosened up and jumped right into their paintings, creating some of their best work and in a matter of a few short hours!

Day 2, Chimayo – Painting / Photo workshop with Niki Gulley & Scott Williams

August 20, 2011

7×5 oil by Niki Gullley

Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop in Santa Fe, NM

Day 2, afternoon location: Chimayo

After our lovely morning location in downtown Santa Fe, we headed north into the hills to photograph and paint Chimayo. While the church seemed like a simple subject for us to paint, the large number of angles and lack of straight lines on the adobe structure proved to be quite a challenge! Everyone did great, and we treated ourselves to sangria and the best meal of the trip at Rancho de Chimayo afterwards.

Day 2 – Santa Fe Painting / Photo Workshop with Niki Gulley & Scott Williams

12×9 pastel by Niki Gullley

Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop in Santa Fe, NM

Day 2, morning location: downtown Santa Fe

Day two of our Santa Fe workshop, we headed to a quiet street in downtown Santa Fe. It was a beautiful morning, with temperatures around 70 to 80 degrees and plenty of shade. We were all drawn to the unique adobe architecture typical in Santa Fe, the soft morning light, and the vibrant color accents on each home. I chose this periwinkle doorway for my quick demo in pastels, both for the striking contrast against the orange pueblo and also because the russian sage everywhere was so beautiful, and added some balance on the left hand side of the composition. We all thoroughly enjoyed the morning, even if a passing homeowner or two were disappointed that we hadn’t picked their doorways to paint!
