Description:
A soft snowfall, a quiet city, and golden lights twinkling among bare winter trees — Winter Lights by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson captures the gentle beauty of urban life in the coldest season. This oil pastel painting evokes a dreamlike evening scene, where illuminated windows glow with life and festive light wraps the trees in warmth against a dusk-blue sky.
This is a beautiful example of contemporary expressionism, where stylized forms and emotive color create a scene that feels more like a memory or a feeling than a literal place. The layered textures, visible strokes, and atmospheric palette draw you into a story of quiet joy and subtle human presence — where every window tells its own tale.
Framed, varnished, and signed both front and back, Winter Lights is a glowing tribute to winter in the city — a soulful, timeless piece for collectors of expressive seasonal art.
Title: The Storm Witness
Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson
Medium: Oil Pastels on Paper
Dimensions: 45 x 35 cm (Framed)
Finish: Varnished and Signed Front & Back
Price: $350 USD
Description:
Dark clouds churn, lightning fractures the sky, and waves crash violently against the shore — The Storm Witness by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson captures the raw, untamed energy of nature at its most dramatic. At the heart of the scene, a solitary airplane cuts through the storm, a haunting silhouette above a turbulent sea.
This powerful oil pastel painting is an evocative example of expressionism. Rather than offering a literal interpretation of a storm, it immerses the viewer in its emotion — fear, awe, suspense — through textured strokes, moody tones, and symbolic imagery. The rocks, shaped like silent witnesses, stand firm as the sky unravels above them. The presence of birds and frothy waves adds to the sense of chaos and fragility.
Varnished, framed, and signed both front and back, The Storm Witness is a bold, thought-provoking work — perfect for collectors drawn to nature’s wild beauty, mystery, and the human stories hidden within the elements.
