Marshland Whispers VI

Marshland Whispers VI

Abstract, mixed media landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts

An atmospheric study of the marshlands in their most understated, contemplative mood. Marshland Whispers VI drifts into the softer end of the palette — gentle blues, muted greys, and the faintest traces of sun-washed warmth — creating a landscape that feels as though it is exhaled rather than painted. It speaks of those still moments when the marsh lies quiet under a pale sky, its colours subdued, its stories carried only in the slightest change 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 look — small discoveries that echo the way the marsh reveals itself gradually, never all at once.

This is a painting shaped by silence: the hush before dawn, the pause between tide and air, the soft glow where sunlight just begins to catch on the water. It holds that feeling of calm spaciousness — a landscape pared back to breath, colour, and memory.
