Winter Costellations by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson

45.0 x 35.0 cm

Title: Winter Constellations Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson Medium: Oil pastels on paper Dimensions: 45 × 35 cm Signed, varnished, and sold framed Winter Constellations evokes the quiet majesty of the night sky above a frosted landscape. Inspired by the moors and waterways of Northumberland, Laura Bernardeschi Nelson translates the stillness and mystery of winter into a symphony of color and texture. Sweeps of violet, ochre, and icy blue form undulating hills beneath a celestial canopy alive with stars. The artist’s distinctive use of oil pastel creates an almost tactile surface — luminous, layered, and filled with subtle movement. Each mark captures the breath of cold air, the shimmer of distant light, and the silent rhythm of nature at rest. The painting balances structure and spontaneity: the foreground suggests a frozen fence or reflective stream, while above, the heavens unfold in radiant color. Through this interplay of earth and sky, Nelson explores themes of wonder, renewal, and belonging within the vastness of the natural world. Varnished for protection and brilliance, Winter Constellations arrives framed and ready to hang — a meditation on light, landscape, and the quiet beauty of winter’s night.
