"Purple Shadows" by Palette Knife Artist Niki Gulley

"Purple Shadows" ©2020 Niki Gulley
Willow City Loop - 9" x 12" textured oil painting

When I started the scene, there were just a few shadows being cast from the trees on the right but they kept growing as I was painting! I liked the rhythm they were creating so I decided to include their patterns and go ahead and chase the light (which is a no no for plein air painters). But there's always exceptions to the rules, right? I was drawn to this tranquil spot, especially as the day was getting hotter, painted on location along the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg, TX. I hope you enjoy this cool peaceful place as much as I did.
