"Journey in Time" Santa Fe Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

"Journey in Time," Santa Fe, NM ©2016 Niki Gulley

SOLD • 12" x 24" textured oil painting

Just Sold! This church, Canyoncito, near Santa Fe, NM is so charming that I decided to paint it in the setting around it to add to that idyllic feel. I loved how the brilliant white of the stucco and the red roof made the church stand out against all of the greenery and blue sky. Choosing the panorama format helps to set the scene and adding long shadows from the left, leads your eye into the composition and to the focal point.

Painting at Canyoncito.

12" x 24" textured oil painting

On the final day of our Santa Fe Art Trek, we headed to this quiet dead end road to paint the church at Canyoncito. The only traffic we saw all morning was one car and 2 bicyclists, which allowed us to really concentrate on the scene. The church is so charming that I decided to paint it in the setting around it to add to that idyllic feel.

Over The Hill In Cransfill Gap by Kay Wyne

Over The Hill In Cransfill Gap

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Oil Painting

This painting might not be completed....it is drying

at the studio right now.  I may put a fence in, 

but I need to think about it for a few days.

Mike and Missy Rogers took a fabulous photo

last year of this Lutheran church, and there was

an old country fence....so that might go in

after it dries.  This is day 16 of the 

30 Paintings in 30 Days Leslie Saeta Paint Challenge.

Thanks for looking at my blog.  Contact me for more
