Ronda Waiksnis

A Brush with Nature, Abstract Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
This painting captures a serene landscape where a river gently winds through lush, verdant fields. Artist Ronda Waiksnis uses a muted palette of greens and blues to evoke a sense of calm and tranquility. Soft, cloudy hues in the sky suggest a peaceful moment, perhaps in the early morning or late afternoon. Loose, expressive brushstrokes add a dreamlike quality to the scene.

About the Artist
Artist Ronda Waiksnis captures nature's visceral beauty in her abstract and expressionist works. Embracing the capriciousness of the creative process, she allows her intuition to guide her, resulting in pieces that feel both organic and unrefined. "My paintings have been found, not built," says Ronda. Rarely using brushes, she applies layers of paint with large palette knives or her fingers, emphasizing the importance of balancing creative abandon and physical control. Ronda operates in a gloriously messy studio, a standalone building behind her house, with a powerful sound system that keeps the vibe carefree and intense. When she's not creating art, Ronda enjoys spending time with her loved ones, playing with her dogs, and savoring a glass of wine.
