Of Salt & Sand & Morning Light
Framed, abstract seascape painting by Carolyn J Roberts
An expressive, semi-abstract painting, in shades of blue & sepia, inspired by the big skies, marshlands & creeks…tides & birdsong…of north Norfolk.
Here’s an excerpt from a “Studio Notes” post explaining further the inspirations & feeling behind this work;
“Of Salt & Sand & Morning Light was one of those intuitive paintings; I worked with a sense of freedom, allowing the paint to flow, with only the lightest of brushstrokes...imagining myself out there on the marshes, the tide trickling into the creeks, the distant cry of the birds carried on the wind... It is one of the largest watercolour and ink paintings that I have created and it came together quite quickly. Amazingly, considering how often I ignore my own advice, I managed not to fiddle, just letting the watercolour and ink interact naturally, with the addition of the drawn lines at the end... And for me, the painting works; the expressive quality, the mixing of the mediums reminiscent of the water trickling into the creeks, the swathe of clouds on a vast horizon...for me, this captures the watery landscape of north Norfolk…”
