New “Morning Glow” oil painting of White Rock Lake by Dallas Artist Niki Gulley

“Morning Glow, White Rock Lake” ©2016 Niki Gulley
oil on canvas • 20″ x 16″
 
On a peaceful spring morning, I set up my easel at White Rock Lake to capture the sun rising behind this beautiful, tangled Cottonwood tree. I liked how the warm light showed off the tree’s curves and textured bark, and I chose this vertical composition to show off its size and strength. In the distance, the sun glistens along the water’s surface and I hope this scene lifts your spirits for what the day has to bring.
