Marshland Whispers V

Abstract, mixed media landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts

An intimate original capturing the pale winter light of the Norfolk marshes

A quiet, small landscape capturing the pale, ethereal light of winter mornings on the Norfolk marshes. In Marshland Whispers V, soft, muted blues and gentle earthy browns drift across the surface, echoing the slow rise of early light over waterways and distant reeds. Hints of asilvery sheen suggest the fragile glimmer of sun touching frost-kissed grasses, and the faint traces of moorings and weathered timber resting quietly along the creeks.

Through delicate layers of watercolour, acrylic ink, and oil pastel, textured marks emerge like whispered memories: reeds bending to a winter breeze, the shimmer of shallow pools, and the soft hush of the landscape before the day fully awakens. Each mark holds a sense of time suspended — a still moment between ebb and flow, frost and thaw, silence and gentle movement.

Though modest in scale, the piece invites close, attentive looking. Designed to be lived with, it captures a small, intimate fragment of marshland light and atmosphere — a quiet, contemplative space to bring into the home.
