Veil of Change
- Medium: Oil pastels on paper
- Size: 25 × 35 cm
- Presentation: Sold framed, varnished, and signed by the artist
- Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson
Description:
Veil of Change portrays a grove of trees shimmering in an otherworldly light. Their crowns, touched with warm tones of rose, gold, and amber, rise against a softened sky, as if wrapped in a mysterious haze. The scene evokes the quiet poetry of autumn — a fleeting moment when nature transforms, suspended between radiance and decline.
With layered oil pastels, Laura Bernardeschi Nelson captures both texture and atmosphere: trunks emerging like pillars of light, leaves dissolving into delicate strokes that blur the line between form and feeling.
This work is not simply a depiction of trees, but a meditation on transition — the beauty found in endings, the wonder hidden in impermanence. Veil of Change invites the viewer to pause, to wander among its glowing trees, and to sense the silent magic of transformation.
Moonlit Passage
- Medium: Oil pastels on paper
- Size: 35 × 25 cm
- Presentation: Sold framed, varnished, and signed by the artist (front and back)
- Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson
Description:
Moonlit Passage is less a depiction of a scene and more a vision of a journey. A small boat drifts across shimmering waters, carrying two shadowed figures beneath a sky alive with colour. The horizon glows with shades of crimson, pink, and blue, while golden sparks dance across the surface of the water like fragments of memory or light.
This work is intentionally dreamlike. The fluid forms and softened edges dissolve the line between reality and imagination, inviting the viewer to travel inward as much as outward. There is a sense of stillness here, but also of movement — a quiet voyage through time, change, and possibility.
Laura Bernardeschi Nelson’s expressive use of oil pastels lends the piece its glowing textures and ethereal atmosphere. It is a painting that speaks to journeys both literal and symbolic: a passage through dusk, through silence, through the unknown.
Whispering Meadow
- Medium: Oil pastels on paper
- Size: 35 × 25 cm
- Presentation: Sold framed, varnished, and signed by the artist (front and back)
- Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson
Description:
Whispering Meadow is an expressive vision of the countryside, where fields, trees, and sky dissolve into a vibrant play of colour and gesture. Rather than portraying nature with precision, Laura Bernardeschi Nelson channels its energy — the rustle of tall grasses, the shifting light, the breath of wind moving across the land.
Working in oil pastels, the artist layers strokes of green, ochre, and violet against a luminous blue sky, creating a rhythm that feels alive and ever-changing. The scene belongs as much to memory and sensation as to place: a meadow that whispers of growth, transition, and timeless presence.
This painting reflects the artist’s expressionist sensibility — a landscape seen through feeling rather than exact detail, where nature becomes both subject and emotion.
