Abstract, mixed media landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts
An intimate original capturing the hush and subtle light of the Norfolk marshes
An intimate study of the marshlands at their most quiet and contemplative. In Marshland Whispers VII, the palette drifts into gentle blues, muted greys, and the faintest whispers of sun-washed warmth, creating a landscape that feels exhaled rather than painted. It evokes those early, still moments when the marsh lies hushed beneath a pale sky, its colours softened, its stories carried only in the slightest shifts of light.
Through layered watercolour, acrylic ink, oil pastel, and subtle touches of watercolour pencil, delicate marks begin to emerge: the shimmer of shallow water, reeds bending almost imperceptibly in a low breeze, and distant forms softened to near abstraction. These quiet details invite slow, intimate observation — small discoveries that unfold gradually, echoing the way the marsh reveals itself over time.
Though modest in scale, this work offers a contemplative, immersive experience. Shaped by silence — the hush before dawn, the pause between tide and air, the soft glow of first light touching the water — it captures a fragment of calm spaciousness, a small, precious original holding the essence of marshland light, movement, and memory.
