Description:
River with Palm is an expressive oil pastel landscape in which natural elements are rendered through gesture, colour, and atmosphere rather than precise detail. Flowing bands of blue and green suggest water and vegetation, while the palm tree emerges as a dynamic, almost rhythmic presence within the composition. Subtle accents of red and yellow punctuate the scene, adding warmth and visual tension.
The work reflects Laura Bernardeschi Nelson’s intuitive approach to landscape, where observation is filtered through memory and emotional response. Layered pastel marks create a sense of movement and depth, evoking a landscape in transition—shaped by light, weather, and time rather than fixed form.
The oil pastel medium lends a rich, tactile surface, enhanced by a varnished finish that unifies the composition and preserves the intensity of the colours. Signed by the artist and presented framed, this 2026 work is ready to hang and suited to contemporary interiors seeking a vibrant yet contemplative landscape.
