Plein Air Painting in Tuscany with Niki Gulley

April 6, 2011

Pastel • 14″ by 11″ • SOLD

Rolling hills, rich loamy earth, sunflowers with heavy heads; vineyards,

each vine so cared for they almost stand at attention as roses guard each row.

A blue vault spans the heavens – take a deep breath;

walk out of your villa and smell the rich earth, the clean air –

the vitality of the Tuscan countryside –

another world, another time.

“Tuscan Countryside”captures a moment in Tuscany that you can make your own. Sign up to join Niki Gulley and Scott Williams for their Plein-Air Painting / Photography Workshop in Tuscany this September and make your own unforgettable images of Tuscany. With a registration deadline of April 9th and space filling up quickly, e-mail Niki Gulley if you’d like to join them or visit nikigulley.com/?page_id=13 for more information on the workshop.

March 26, 2011

pastel • 24″ x 36″

I was inspired to paint this pastel of the beautiful rolling Tuscan hills and vineyards after our last Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop that my husband and I taught in Tuscany. Not only were the views amazing, but the food and the wine were absolutely delicious, too!

From our last Tuscany workshop: Part of group pictured while touring this 300 year old wine cellar, always run by the same family.

If you’d like to join us Sept. 2-10 for our next Tuscany Plein-Air Painting & Photography Workshop, e-mail Niki Gulley for more information or visit nikigulley.com/?page_id=13. With limited space and a final registration deadline of April 9th quickly approaching, we suggest registering soon.

To see “Autumn Harvest” and more of my paintings in person, stop by my booth at Art City Austin, a premier juried outdoor art festival in Austin, TX, April 2-3. I’ll be at booth #328 – on Cesar Chavez St. between San Antonio & Guadalupe Streets. Visit ArtAllianceAustin.org /art_city_austin.html for details.
