Abstract, mixed media landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts
A small, considered original reflecting quiet winter light across the wetlands
An evocative, small landscape capturing the still, contemplative hush of winter marshes — that fleeting time when colour softens, edges dissolve, and the world feels pared back to its quiet essentials. In Marshland Whispers IV, cool, muted blues drift into earthy browns, echoing the gentle rise and fall of the tide and the slow unfolding of winter light across the wetlands. Subtle touches of ochre and rust suggest the presence of weather-beaten moorings, iron fixings, and boats settling into their familiar creeks.
Built through delicate layers of watercolour, acrylic ink, and oil pastel, the surface reveals textured marks that feel like fragments of memory: reeds whispering in the cold air, the grain of salt-worn wood, the faint shimmer of water pooling and retreating. Each mark contributes to a sense of time held lightly — a landscape caught in a moment between shifting waters and encroaching frost, between silence and the murmurs of returning birds.
Though small in scale, the piece invites close, quiet looking. It is shaped by that interval unique to the marshlands… where everything feels suspended, watchful, and on the cusp of change, offering a delicate, intimate fragment of this tranquil world for the home.
