Whispers of Light by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson

25.0 x 35.0 cm

Whispers of Light is an original oil pastel artwork inspired by the Impressionist masters, in particular Claude Monet. The surface of a tranquil pond becomes a stage for fleeting reflections, where shifting tones of turquoise, violet, and soft grey meet the glow of luminous highlights. Yellow and pink water lilies drift across the water’s surface, their delicate forms dissolving gently into color and movement. The true subject here is not only the flowers but the dance of light upon water—ever-changing, shimmering, and impossible to hold. The impressionist spirit lives in the strokes of pastel, where suggestion replaces detail and emotion rises from atmosphere. This piece invites the viewer to pause and contemplate the transient beauty of nature, as if catching the quiet breath of time itself.
