Abstract, mixed media landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts
An intimate original capturing the hushed, in-between moments of the Norfolk marshes
An expressive, small landscape inspired by the quiet, introspective beauty of the winter marshlands — those softened moments when the horizon dissolves and the boundaries between land, water, and sky blur into a single breath. In Marshland Whispers III, gentle washes of muted blues and earthy browns echo the subtle shifts of tide and light, while hints of rust and ochre recall weather-worn ironwork, moorings, and the quiet endurance of boats resting along the creeks.
Through layered watercolour, acrylic ink, collage, and oil pastel, textured marks emerge like traces of stories half-remembered: salt-stained timbers, reeds bowing in a cold breeze, the faint imprint of footsteps long since washed away. The surface holds a sense of time etched slowly — moments suspended between ebb and flow, frost and thaw, silence and movement.
Though modest in scale, this piece invites close attention, offering a quiet, intimate fragment of the marshes. It captures that in-between space the marshes know so well… where everything feels hushed, held, and hovering on the edge of change.
