Fall Foliage in the Smoky Mountains by Palette Knife Painter Niki Gulley

 

Sadly, our Fall Foliage Freedom Tour has reached its end. What an amazing 6 week adventure!!! Fortunately, we might have saved the best for last, visiting Asheville, NC in all of its peak autumn glory the last week of October. I had to squeeze in one last painting opportunity at our gorgeous campsite. 

Of course, one of the challenges of plein-air painting is you never know what is going to change in the scene you are capturing. For instance, our neighbors chose to park their black sedan right here in the middle of our picturesque view. Oh, well! The scenery beyond was still beautiful and I was able to take some photos on my camera to finish this one up at home. It also gave us a good excuse to take a scooter ride on that beautiful 70 degree day and check out the picturesque nature trails in the North Carolina Arboretum. Not a bad way to finish up our immersive autumn trip!

Experience Asheville's Gorgeous Fall Foliage in Niki Gulley's Paintings

Just WOW!!! Our timing in Asheville was perfect. Gorgeous peak color and ideal 70 degree days. The view from our campsite was spectacular and I had to capture those autumn hues before they were gone. Especially since the leaves were falling into my paint as soon as I mixed the next color. I hope you can feel pure joy and energy in this one! And, there may be a little extra real leaf texture as a bonus.

Spring Thaw | Melt Water by Rebecca Zook

Art Therapy
Post 3

This one was a little different for me, but I liked the challenge and loved the textures. I shot the source image in North Carolina. My husband and I rented a cabin and explored the area with our cameras in hand.

Spring Thaw
20" x 16" | Acrylic on Panel

Slowly, warmth touches the ice, transforming it. Released from winter’s dormant hold, it begins its decent. Gaining speed and determination, the water now destined to bring life to the landscape. Spring has come again.
