“Coming Home” New Palette Knife Painting from Tuscany by Niki Gulley

  

“Coming Home” ©2023 Niki Gulley
20″ x 10″ textured acrylic painting on canvas panel

Inspired by our travels to Italy, cypress trees rise out of the vast open landscape signaling that you have arrived in Tuscany! Perched on a hilltop with the best views of the surrounding valleys, this villa is set against the perfect backdrop for a romantic escape. The long curving driveway and undulating wheatfields draw your eye back through the rolling hills. Beautiful, billowing clouds drift overhead.  Early morning light casts dramatic shadows creating a rhythm beckoning you to journey up the drive, guiding you to your new getaway you can call home.

I had to capture this laundry drying with a cool morning breeze set against a peeling paint backdrop in the back canals of Venice. Dramatic lighting made the sheets glow in the morning sun. I love the rich colors Europeans paint their houses!

“Ready to Ride” Gondola Painting from Venice by Niki Gulley

“Ready to Ride” ©2020 Niki Gulley
12″ x 9″ textured oil painting on panel
 
Very few things evoke the spirit of place like a gondola does for Venice. This singular form of transportation is the signature of a city built on canals and just a glimpse brings forth dreams of traversing the many waterways with someone special.

“Venetian Doorway” by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

“Venetian Doorway” ©2020 Niki Gulley
7″ x 5″ textured oil painting 
 
After pizza fortifications for lunch during our Venice Art Trek, we set up our easels on a back canal near our hotel while the photographers went off in search of more costumes and scenery to photograph. The architecture in Venice is fascinating and in every direction there is so much ornate detail, that I wanted to capture all of the unusual elements in this one little doorway.

“Sentimental Journey,” Venice by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

“Sentimental Journey” ©2020 Niki Gulley
9″ x 12″ textured oil painting on panel
 
We took a vaporetto tour of Venice and got off at the Rialto bridge where we wandered the fruit, vegetable and fish markets. I set up my easel in this quiet spot, marking the oldest restaurant in Venice. This bridge had so much character being made completely of wood, decorated in plantings and flanked by red and white poles that I just had to paint it!

“Vino for Two” Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

“Vino for Two” ©2020 Niki Gulley • 10″ x 8″ oil painting
 
I love the courtyards in Italy – they are so warm and inviting, reminding us to relax and enjoy the moment rather than rushing onto the next thing on our list. I enjoyed hanging out here, taking in the sound of the fountain trickling, savoring the local red wine, and spending time conversing with my husband. I hope this painting reminds you of a similar special memory.
