Day 2, afternoon, Vineyard tours and Wine Tasting - Tuscany Art Trek

On the second day of our Tuscany Art Trek, we took a tour in the countryside of 2 local wineries, seeing their cellars and production process while learning more about Italian wines. Then, the best part of all - sampling some of those delicious wines with the locally grown meats and cheeses! One of the wineries has been in the same family for 300 years, and the care and pride they take in making their wines really shows through. A great end to a fun-filled day!

If you'd like to see "Autumn Harvest" and more of my impressionist landscape paintings, please stop by my booth at the Cottonwood Art Festival this weekend, Oct. 6th and 7th, from 10am - 6pm. Visit cottonwoodartfestival.com for details.

Touring the cellar of one of the wineries that's been in business for over 300 years.

Plein Air Painting in Tuscany with Niki Gulley

"Tuscan Countryside" ©2011 Niki Gulley

Pastel • 14" by 11" • SOLD

Rolling hills, rich loamy earth, sunflowers with heavy heads; vineyards,

each vine so cared for they almost stand at attention as roses guard each row.

A blue vault spans the heavens – take a deep breath;

walk out of your villa and smell the rich earth, the clean air –

the vitality of the Tuscan countryside –

another world, another time.

"Tuscan Countryside"captures a moment in Tuscany that you can make your own. Sign up to join Niki Gulley and Scott Williams for their Plein-Air Painting / Photography Workshop in Tuscany this September and make your own unforgettable images of Tuscany. With a registration deadline of April 9th and space filling up quickly, e-mail Niki Gulley if you'd like to join them or visit nikigulley.com/?page_id=13 for more information on the workshop.

Sonoma Foothills by Monique Straub

California landscape paintings are favorites of mine, and the wine country offers an endless source of beautiful settings. John and I are looking forward to another trip to Sonoma soon. He will get his race car fix at Infineon Raceway, while I'll be armed with sketchbook, pastels and camera. Maybe a few race car paintings, definitely more vineyard paintings, and oh...I'm sure there will be a few glasses of the grape in there somewhere!

Painted in soft pastel on sandpaper, this piece is 9" x 12" and framed in wide, dark wood with UV/non-glare museum glass. Buy it now price: $250 + $30 to ship anywhere in the continental U.S. or Canada.
