Title: Cathedral of Light
Original Painting by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson

Cathedral of Light invites the viewer into a forest not merely seen, but felt—a sacred place where light pierces through tall trees like stained glass in a natural cathedral. In this striking and immersive original by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson, sunlight is not a passive presence, but an active force—beaming, slicing, reaching—transforming the woodland into a space of revelation and stillness.

Painted in a limited palette of deep blues, glowing golds, and smoky blacks, the composition uses strong vertical lines and bold gestural strokes to convey the monumental presence of trees. The technique is intuitive and physical, layered with palette knife and brush to build texture and interplay between shadow and illumination. Areas of abstraction heighten the sense of wonder, allowing the imagination to wander while grounding the viewer in the solemn beauty of nature.

Philosophically, Cathedral of Light is a meditation on awe—a moment of looking up and remembering the vastness beyond ourselves. It’s an homage to the forest as sanctuary: ancient, protective, and alive with quiet wisdom. The painting captures not just what the eyes see, but what the soul registers in moments of silence and reverence.
