Santa Fe Painting Workshop with Niki Gulley

12x9 pastel by Niki Gullley
Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop in Santa Fe, NM
Day 2, morning location: downtown Santa Fe

Day two of our Santa Fe workshop, we headed to a quiet street in downtown Santa Fe. It was a beautiful morning, with temperatures around 70 to 80 degrees and plenty of shade. We were all drawn to the unique adobe architecture typical in Santa Fe, the soft morning light, and the vibrant color accents on each home. I chose this periwinkle doorway for my quick demo in pastels, both for the striking contrast against the orange pueblo and also because the russian sage everywhere was so beautiful, and added some balance on the left hand side of the composition. We all thoroughly enjoyed the morning, even if a passing homeowner or two were disappointed that we hadn't picked their doorways to paint!

Aspen Tree Painting "Dawn Serenade" by Jill Saur

My painting, "Dawns Serenade", 12"x12" acrylic on canvas, was inspired by a serendipitous trip to Taos, New Mexico. I came home with over a thousand shots to use as inspiration in my studio. 

Aspen trees are amongst the oldest living organisms on our planet. A single grove can grow large enough to cover an entire mountain-side. Although each tree stands alone, it is interconnected through a shared root system. I call these trees, "The Giving Trees" because when one tree dies, it grows another tree from its very own root ball. 

This painting is sold, but I invite you to visit my website to view my work or perhaps commission me to paint an original just for you.

Over and Over by Kay Wyne

Over and Over
Contemporary Aspen Tree Painting
24" x 18" Oil on Canvas
Ready to be framed!
This painting will be an entry for the Artists of Texas Annual Show at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas to be held in November and December. The colors are crisp and clear, just like you would see on a brisk fall day. I used the brush and palette knife on this painting...there is plenty of texture. I hope to frame this painting in a black floater frame. Thanks for viewing this blog, Kay

Aspens by Kay Wyne

This contemporary aspen painting is getting ready to be hung in a show next week. It is a 30" x 30" gallery wrap canvas. I need to name it and inventory it before it leaves the studio today. It is another hot one in Dallas, and I will be dodging the heat by staying inside painting! Thanks for viewing this blog. Kay

Aspen Tree Painting "Aspen Afire" by Jill Saur

Have you ever stood among a grove of aspen trees and heard the fluttering of their leaves in the wind? Or, have you ever been amazed by their beautiful white trunks glistening in the sun against a backdrop of rich and bold hues? This 36"x48" painting, "Aspen Afire", was inspired from one of my trips to Colorado and a secret place that few people know about, where the some of the oldest aspens in world grow. It's breathtakingly beautiful.
