Abstract, mixed media landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts
An intimate original capturing the quiet, understated moods of the Norfolk marshes
An atmospheric, small study of the marshlands in their most understated, contemplative mood. In Marshland Whispers VI, the palette drifts into soft, gentle blues, muted greys, and the faintest traces of sun-washed warmth, creating a landscape that feels exhaled rather than painted. It evokes those still moments when the marsh lies quiet beneath a pale sky, its colours subdued, its stories carried only in the slightest shifts of light.
Through layered watercolour, acrylic ink, oil pastel, and delicate touches of watercolour pencil, subtle marks begin to surface: the shimmer of shallow water; reeds bending almost imperceptibly in a low breeze; distant forms softened to abstraction. These quiet details invite a slower, closer look — small discoveries that echo the way the marsh reveals itself gradually, never all at once.
Though modest in scale, the piece invites intimate contemplation. Shaped by silence — the hush before dawn, the pause between tide and air, the soft glow where sunlight just begins to catch the water — it captures a fragment of calm spaciousness, a small original that distills the marshland into breath, colour, and memory.
