Dark Earth, Gathering Storm

Original semi-abstract landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts

A Lincolnshire landscape in transition — autumn’s work complete, the harvest safely gathered in. The fields lie newly turned, ridges of dark, rich soil glistening beneath a brooding sky. Clouds mass on the horizon, the air thick with the scent of rain and earth. There’s a tension here — that moment just before the storm breaks, when the landscape seems to hold its breath.

This expressive mixed media piece captures the drama and quiet beauty of the changing season — the weight of the clouds, the rhythm of the land, the hush before the downpour. It pairs perfectly with Autumn Lands, Crow Cries — together they tell a story of contrast and continuity, light and shadow, calm and gathering energy.

Presented in a 10” x 12” double mount, it’s ready to pop into a frame and bring a sense of autumn atmosphere and timeless landscape into your home.
