Title: Watching the Sky
Description
In Watching the Sky, artist Laura Bernardeschi Nelson portrays a quiet moment of childhood wonder. Two young figures stand by the water’s edge, gazing toward the sky where birds circle above the calm blue surface.
The scene is filled with soft turquoise tones and gentle atmospheric light. The children’s silhouettes create a sense of companionship and discovery, inviting the viewer to share their moment of curiosity and imagination.
Subtle movements in the sky and water give the painting a dreamlike quality, suggesting that something extraordinary may be unfolding above them.
Rendered in oil pastels, the work combines expressive texture with delicate colour transitions, capturing both the stillness of the landscape and the energy of the sky.
