Quiet Horizon Description Quiet Horizon is an evocative oil pastel work by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson, capturing a moment of stillness where land, water, and sky dissolve into one another. Soft bands of blue, green, and earthy tones stretch across the surface, creating a meditative landscape that feels both familiar and imagined. The upper sky shifts gently from deep blue to lighter, airy hues, suggesting the calm of dusk or early dawn. Below, a luminous green expanse recalls reeds, fields, or reflections on water, rendered with expressive vertical marks that add rhythm and depth. The foreground introduces darker, textural strokes, grounding the composition and inviting the viewer inward. The layered oil pastels create a velvety surface rich in subtle movement, while small flecks of colour add quiet points of light, enhancing the sense of atmosphere and contemplation. Explanation / Interpretation This work explores themes of pause, transition, and inner landscape. Rather than depicting a specific place, Quiet Horizon evokes a feeling—an in-between space where time slows and the viewer can breathe. It speaks to those drawn to calm, introspective imagery and natural tones. The piece works beautifully in living spaces, bedrooms, or study areas, offering a soothing presence and a sense of quiet depth.
