Plein Air Painting Workshop - Santa Fe, NM with Niki Gulley


"High Road to Taos" ©2011 Niki Gulley
SOLD • pastel • 14" x 11"

On our last trip to New Mexico, we were enjoying the scenic route along the high road to Taos from Santa Fe, and marveling at the wide open vistas and beautiful rugged landscape when we came upon these lone sagebrush set against the dramatic white billowing clouds in the background, and we just had to paint and photograph it. Choosing pastels to capture the fleeting moment quickly, I got the scene blocked in just before the wind blew those beautiful clouds away, and the reason why plein air painting is so magical!

Santa Fe is the muse of many famous artists and photographers, and that could be you, too! Join us for our Plein-Air Painting and Photography Workshop this August in Santa Fe, New Mexico. You will work at different picturesque locations, painting and (or) photographing scenes that inspired Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. Santa Fe offers breathtaking vistas; sunny, dry weather, world class restaurants, galleries and shopping ensconced in a charming, 400 year old Spanish Colonial city that welcomes the new and exciting and never grows old.
This is a not to be missed workshop in “The Land of Enchantment.”

    Niki: I must say, I did not know this was yours.....a little different than the aspens! Love it. And I need to tell you that for some reason I had a dream about you last night. But I can't remember what it was! The High Road is one of our favorite places....I can really connect with this painting. You nailed the NM landscape for sure!
