https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/lauraartist68
Edge of the Water captures the sweeping tranquillity of Kielder Reservoir—one of Northumberland’s most peaceful and expansive landscapes. In this original oil pastel by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson, rich layers of turquoise, moss green, and muted lilac convey the quiet strength of the land meeting the water’s edge. The composition flows with natural rhythm, from foreground foliage to the gentle curves of the shoreline and the wooded hills beyond.
This piece is both grounded and dreamlike—combining textured mark-making with subtle tonal shifts to evoke that unmistakable feeling of standing at the edge of something vast and still. The cool palette and expressive gestures invite the viewer to linger, listen, and breathe with the landscape.

Title: “Into the Green”
Original Oil Pastel Artwork by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson
Into the Green captures a quiet, contemplative moment in nature—an original oil pastel scene by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson that invites the viewer to follow a solitary figure into the heart of a bamboo forest. Dappled with soft greens, ochres, and earthy browns, the forest surrounds her like a living cathedral, tall and protective. She walks with quiet confidence, carrying two baskets, her blue hat blooming with floral detail—a touch of whimsy in the wild.
Rendered in warm, expressive strokes, this piece celebrates both solitude and connection. The vertical lines of the bamboo create a rhythm of stillness and movement, drawing the eye inward as though the forest itself is gently guiding her path. It’s a gentle meditation on walking slowly, listening deeply, and becoming part of the landscape.
