Art & Photo Workshop in Athens & Santorini, Greece
January 11, 2011
“Doorway to Possibilities,” Santorini, Greece • by Niki Gulley
SOLD • 20” x 10” pastel
The view from our hotel that we’ll be staying at in May for our Plein Air Painting / Photography Workshop is amazing! In this pastel, I wanted to capture not only the gorgeous Aegean below and the white-washed architecture with brilliant blue accents, but also I wanted to show off their unique doorways that also frame the beautiful landscape below.
If you’d also like to paint in Greece, join me and my husband / travel photographer, Scott Williams, in our Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop this May.

“Autumn Harvest,” Tuscany ©2011 Niki Gulley
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 Tuscany workshop: Part of group pictured while touring this 300 year old wine cellar, always run by the same family.

Nightfall III, Chicago pastel
June 11, 2010
“Nightfall III,” Chicago ©2010 Niki Gulley
10″ x 8″ pastel
In contrast to the ghost town downtown Dallas can sometimes be at night, I love the energy pulsing through downtown Chicago, especially near Michigan Avenue. Besides the excitement in all of the activity, I like how everything is illuminated and the way the lights sparkle. In Nightfall III, I wanted to contrast the deep purple I saw in the John Hancock building against the glowing Water Tower in front of it, and am pleased with the dreamy effect.
To view this pastel in person, visit my booth at the Wells Street Art Show in Chicago this weekend. See chicagoevents.com/event.cfm?eid=141 for more information.
