Present Moments, Abstract Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Textured brushstrokes blend muted tones of brown and green to capture a serene meadow with a meandering stream. The overcast sky gives the scene a tranquil, almost melancholic atmosphere. The gentle reflection in the water contrasts subtly with the surrounding grasses, while the distant tree line adds depth and perspective. The blurred details exude a sense of solitude and nostalgia.

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.
