Ronda Waiksnis
A Soft Evening, Abstract Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
The grass and trees below are painted in muted greens, set against a darkening sky. Meandering through the scene, a stream adds movement and a touch of romanticism. Its tranquil presence brings serenity to the peaceful meadow, while gentle tones and wistful strokes evoke a sense of nostalgia.


About the Artist
Ronda Waiksnis captures abstracted, atmospheric movement through her direct application painting process. Rarely using brushes, she applies heavy layers of paint with large palette knives and other tools, shifting the oil paint instinctively. Ronda is inspired by her natural surroundings and strives to capture the mood of any given day. The artist uses muted earth tones and receding horizon lines to demonstrate depth, conveying the transient sky or evanescent reflections in water with expressive feeling. Ronda aims to make art that is emotive and visceral, organic and unrefined. She is passionate about the endless possibilities for innovation that being an artist offers.

    Artist Comments
    Artist Ronda Waiksnis presents an abstract landscape with soft neutral tones. She paints with expressive strokes, capturing the essence of spring with minimal representation. “In this painting, I’ve put together subtle but energetic colors with bold painterly brushstrokes for a lively view,” says Ronda. The clouds float through the sky, adding to the landscape’s movement.
