We found this gorgeous beach in southern Portugal that had a stunning view through the rock face that gave you a peak into another world beyond the keyhole.

“Acropolis” by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

July 23, 2020

“Acropolis,” Athens, Greece ©2020 Niki Gulley
9″ x 12″ oil painting on panel

On the first full day of our plein air painting and photography workshop in Greece, we visited the Acropolis in Athens along with several other ancient sites. It was truly awe inspiring to see a part of history from the fifth century BC and to imagine what life must have been like as democracy was beginning. In the afternoon, the painters set up their easels on top of the balcony at our hotel to paint this beautiful view of the Parthenon while the photographers continued touring the city. In this oil painting, I wanted to capture a sense of scale with the Acropolis, and suggest how it rises above the city on this massive mound, towering majestically over the city, kissed by the clouds above.

This was the view that greeted us on the way back to our hotel in Santorini, Greece. You went through the gate and under the archway into a little courtyard that was so beautiful and peaceful. I had to capture that beauty!

“Curves and Shadows” from Santorini, Greece by Niki Gulley

July 21, 2020
“Curves and Shadows” © 2020 Niki Gulley

12″ x 9″ oil painting on panel

On the sixth day of our Greece Art Trek, the sky darkened and the winds picked up so we decided to paint in a more sheltered spot. So setting up on our balcony, we chose to paint a vignette of the white-washed stucco and simple architectural lines and curves. At a couple of points, we even got some soft sunlight to give our subject subtle highlights and shadows, which we painted quickly as the light was quite fleeting.

“Inside Out” from Greece by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

“Inside Out,” Greek Islands ©2020 Niki Gulley
10″ x 8″ oil painting by 
 

Here is another painting from Greece on one of the less touristy islands, Milos. We found this quiet off-the-beaten-path beach. I thought this building was interesting with its simple curves and color, and I liked how it framed the gorgeous blue ocean in the background. The contrasts between the stark sun-bleached white walls and its strong midday shadows also caught my attention and I had to paint it.

“Sentimental Journey,” Venice by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

July 17, 2020
“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

July 15, 2020
“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.

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!
