"Chasing Dragons" Oil Painting from Slovenia by Niki Gulley


"Chasing Dragons," Ljubljana ©2018 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 7" x 5" textured oil painting

Slovenia and Croatia Art Trek - Day 1
Led by Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

Just Sold! This summer, my husband, Scott Williams, and I led an Art Trek to Slovenia and Croatia where we taught photography, painting and showed the rest of our group who weren't painting or photographing some of the highlights in those countries. It was an amazing trip, and everyone said it was probably two of their favorite countries they'd ever visited!


On our first day, we arrived in Ljubljana, the capitol of Slovenia. The city is lined with dragons everywhere since they are the symbol for the city and they even have a Dragonolgy course through the local college! We chose to paint their famous Dragon Bridge while the photographers shot and explored the city. Above is one of the bronze creatures that greet you as you're crossing the bridge.

That afternoon we gave everyone free time to explore the castle, the beautiful city streets and architecture, shop, etc. and that evening we gathered for an amazing meal at their Michelin rated restaurant. A perfect ending to a wonderful day!

"Cottage in the Woods," Slovenia ©2019 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 9" x 12" oil painting

Slovenia and Croatia Art Trek - Day 4
Led by Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

Just Sold! For our next adventure on our Slovenia and Croatia Art Trek, we crossed back over the border into Slovenia again to land at the Idyllic town of Bled. Set on a peaceful, picturesque lake, the town is almost like a fairytale come to life.

That evening, we visited Bled Castle, perched above town with incredible views of the area spreading out below. After dining on a gourmet dinner there with fellow Trekkers and our new friends, we retired full and happy that night!

New "Guiding Us Home" Oil Painting by Niki Gulley at Seaside Gallery


"Guiding Us Home" ©2019 Niki Gulley
16" x 12" textured oil painting

Inspired by our travels to Italy, cypress trees rise out of the vast open landscape signaling that you have arrived in Tuscany! Nestled in a valley with its long arbor-lined driveway, this villa is set against the perfect backdrop for a romantic escape. Undulating rows of wheatfields and vineyards draw your eye back through the rolling hills and beautiful billowing clouds drift overhead.  Late day sunlight casts dramatic shadows creating a rhythm beckoinging you to journey down the drive, guiding you home.

"Guiding Us Home" is hanging at Seaside Gallery in Pismo Beach, CA. If you are interested in purchasing or more details, please contact them at:

Seaside Gallery

New "Misty Morning" in Tuscany by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley


"Misty Morning," Tuscany ©2019 Niki Gulley
16" x 20" textured oil painting

On this morning in Tuscany, we decided to get up really early so that we could capture sunrise over this beautiful valley. The hills were surrounded by a layer of mist that created this ethereal, peaceful quality to the morning. I really liked how the fog accentuated the miles and miles of rolling landscape, perfectly off-setting the villa surrounded by cypress and olive groves in the foreground. While I’m not usually an early morning person, this turned out to be a very inspiring moment!

"Laundry Day" by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley


"Laundry Day," Croatia ©2018 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 6" x 8" oil painting

Slovenia and Croatia Art Trek - Day 3
Led by Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

Just Sold! On the third day of our Slovenia / Croatia Art Trek, my husband (Scott Williams) led the photographers and tourists back to the amazing waterfall park to explore some more. Since it is challenging to paint in there with the narrow walkways and many tourists in the afternoon, we stayed to paint at our and b. I loved the laundry drying on the line in their backyard with the unusual Croatia roofline in the distance.

That evening, we all gathered together for another delicious Croatian meal.

"Sun Shines on Tuscany" - New Sunflower Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley


"Sun Shines on Tuscany" ©2018 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 16" x 20" textured oil painting

Just Sold through The Good Art Company Gallery! "Sun Shines on Tuscany" was inspired by our trip to Tuscany this summer. Our timing was perfect and the sunflowers were in full bloom. Their bright, smiling faces as big as dinner plates, the sun dappled path leading you deep into the golden field to the quintessential town perched on a hilltop in the distance , and a beautiful summer day with a few dramatic clouds drifting by made for the ideal subject. The resulting painting is full of warmth, color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

New "Flowing Patterns" from Tuscany by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley


"Flowing Patterns, "Tuscany ©2019 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 9" x 12" textured oil painting

JUST SOLD!  On the first morning of our Tuscany Art Trek, my husband went over camera functions and tips with his photography students while my painters set up to capture this gorgeous view of the distant hills and farmhouse that we see from our breakfast table each morning. With a few clouds drifting by, there was a beautiful soft light and a symphony of autumn colors framed by the quintessential Tuscan cypress tree in the foreground. What a perfect morning!

New "Tranquil Life" Oil Painting of Tuscany by Niki Gulley


"Tranquil Life, "Tuscany ©2019 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 9" x 12" textured oil painting

JUST SOLD!  During a recent trip to Tuscany,  I set up my easel one afternoon  to capture this beautiful view of the distant hills and tiny rustic stone church. With dramatic clouds drifting by creating warm bursts of light on the foreground, a symphony of autumn colors glowed and the white structure popped in the distance. The setting was so peaceful and uplifting that I hope you, too, can slow down and enjoy the calmer pace that Tuscany has to offer.
