“The Memory Tree”
Oil pastels on paper, varnished
Signed front and back
Mounted and presented in a clear protective envelope
Special price: £35 (plus shipping)
The Memory Tree is an original oil pastel artwork by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson, created on paper and sealed with a protective varnish. This atmospheric piece captures a solitary tree standing on a small island, framed by a luminous sky and reflected in the still, dark waters below.
With glowing yellows, soft coral tones, and the inky silhouette of the tree mirrored in the lake, the scene evokes a sense of quiet reverence—like a moment held in deep reflection. Golden specks drift like scattered memories across the surface, giving the image a feeling of timeless wonder.
The tree stands both in light and in shadow, above and below—a symbol of connection between past and present, consciousness and dream, sky and earth. It speaks to the part of us that remembers not with the mind, but with the heart.
Mounted and ready to display, The Memory Tree comes signed front and back and is offered at a special price of £35 plus shipping—a luminous meditation on stillness, roots, and reflection by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson.
“Dream Sails”
Oil pastels on paper, varnished
Signed front and back
Mounted and presented in a clear protective envelope
Special price: £35 (plus shipping)
Dream Sails is an original oil pastel artwork by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson, created during a period of deep personal reflection and connection to the life she once lived on the waterways of London. Having spent two years aboard a narrowboat, Laura developed a lasting fascination with boats—their quiet strength, their drifting solitude, and the poetic rhythm of life on water.
Rendered in dreamy hues of rose, lilac, and misty mauve, Dream Sails captures two abstracted sailboats gliding across a pink-toned lake, with hazy violet mountains rising like memories behind them. The colours are drawn from Laura’s recurring dreams, where everything is bathed in a surreal, pink atmosphere—timeless and gently otherworldly.
There’s movement here, but it’s soft—like thoughts drifting on a current. The sails reach skyward like fragile aspirations, while the waters below whisper of reflection and return. The image evokes a journey inward as much as out—a voyage through memory, imagination, and the quiet beauty of the unknown.
Mounted and ready to display, Dream Sails comes signed on both sides and is available for a special price of £35 plus shipping. A piece that speaks to dreamers, wanderers, and those who’ve ever felt the pull of the open water.
