Daybreak pastel by Niki Gulley

pastel • 16" x 40"

Whenever I can actually wake up by dawn, I am always inspired by the magical light that casts its glow across the horizon and am rewarded by the peacefulness before society starts stirring. In Daybreak, I wanted to capture that magical morning light and the quiet mysterious mood created from the sun's rays peeking through the trees, casting their long dramatic shadows and softening the distant landscape.
