A Distance Held in Light

£40.00

Original semi-abstract landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts

A quiet, expressive painting inspired by the space and changing atmosphere of the coastal marshes.

Some landscapes stay with us less as a particular view and more as a feeling – the openness of the land, the shifting light, and the sense of space between earth, water and sky.

Inspired by the open coastal landscapes of North Norfolk, this small mixed-media painting brings together fluid blue-grey washes, muted earthy greens and sepia tones. Expressive marks stretch across the paper, with areas of untouched white creating a sense of light, distance and quiet openness.

Watercolour, acrylic ink, oil pastel and pencil each bring a different quality to the surface, allowing the landscape to emerge through a combination of fluid washes and more immediate, delicate marks. Rather than depicting a specific place, the work holds something of the atmosphere of being there – an impression of a landscape that continues to linger in the mind.
