Painting in Iceland with Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

September 23, 2024

9″ x 12” textured acrylic painting on panel by Niki Gulley

Today the painters in our Art Treks group stayed right on the beautiful grounds of our hotel to paint the dramatic scenery. Meanwhile, our photographers and tourists went off exploring. We had the day all to ourselves with the exception of the curious hotel staff, and could really immerse ourselves in the cathartic process of painting. I hope you enjoy the escape with us to the peaceful exotic hills and vast open spaces that are what so many fall in love with in Iceland.

Palette Knife Painting in Iceland with Niki Gulley

September 13, 2024

20″ x 10” textured acrylic painting on panel by Niki Gulley

Another quaint house in this idyllic Icelandic landscape. Another challenging painting day in 40 mph winds! And yet another painting created from the rental car’s front seat. Are you picking up a trend??? I really did love their picturesque front yard, the beautiful golden afternoon light, and how flattered the home owner was that I was capturing his house!

Painting Iceland’s Gorgeous Coastline in Palette Knife by Niki Gulley

September 12, 2024

“Floating Contemplation” 10″ x 20″ textured acrylic painting on panel by Niki Gulley

Every day when we left our Iceland hotel to explore the country’s other worldly scenery, we would pass this house situated next to the ocean. Nestled between the Atlantic and inland estuaries, I could just imagine what the idyllic views would be like staying there. So today we stopped so I could capture this serene escape, and bring you along with us.

Palette Knife Waterfall Painting by Niki Gulley

September 6, 2024

“Cascading” 20″ x 10″ textured acrylic painting on canvas panel by Niki Gulley

So many waterfalls, so little time! The weather dried out, warmed up and the “breeze” calmed down in Iceland today. Yeah!!! I was in my element getting to paint this amazing 500 foot tall, mult-tiered cascade. I hope you, too, can feel the joy, peace and energy of this beautiful location.

Painting Lupine in Iceland with Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

September 4, 2024

“Rivers of Blue” 20″ x 10″ textured acrylic painting on canvas panel by Niki Gulley

We timed our Iceland Art Trek perfectly and had almost ideal weather for our group when we were teaching. However the week before when Scott and I arrived early to get in some additional painting and photographing was a whole other story. Today the 40 mph winds made it particularly challenging, so I set up my easel in the front seat of the car and painted out the window. A little weather wasn’t going to deter us!

I loved this view of the one lone house surrounded by colorful wildflowers and cobalt lupine (which look so much like our Texas bluebonnets). The hues were just beautiful together and it added so much joy to what could have been a challenging day. I hope you enjoy the escape, too!

New Colorado Wildflower Painting by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

December 27, 2023

34″ x 34″ textured mixed media painting on canvas

Crimson Paintbrush fill Colorado’s undulating grassy fields with color joy. Making sure to not over blend my thick strokes allows you to see the marks and feel the peaceful energy, as nature’s palette holds a harmonic concert. Repeating patterns and waves of color create a harmony within the painting, while rendering the blooms and their surroundings abstractly plays with taking a traditional subject matter and showing it in a contemporary way.

New Colorado Columbine Textured Painting by Niki Gulley

Through the pine tree window, Colorado’s splendor unfolds before you. Late light casts its golden glow across rolling hills illuminating Columbine and wildflowers along its journey. Contrasting textures of running paint and thick palette knife strokes create extreme dimension, connecting background to foreground, beckoning you onward and bringing the scene to life.
