Grey Skies, Winter Days

Original abstract landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts

A small, reflective study — shaped by winter light and weathered horizons

Under low winter skies, the uplands settle into a softer, more subdued rhythm. Cloud hangs heavy over the moors, muting colour and flattening distance, while the land below remains quietly resolute — stone, grass, and heather holding their ground against the cold.

This small mixed media painting distils that winter stillness. Layers of watercolour and acrylic ink are interwoven with fragments of collage, creating gentle shifts of tone and texture that echo the weight of cloud and the slow, steady presence of the land beneath. Subtle mark-making suggests ridgelines half-lost to mist, fleeting breaks of light, and the sense of time moving almost imperceptibly through the day.

Intimate in scale yet expansive in feeling, the piece invites a slower gaze — a quiet companion for winter days, where the landscape reveals itself not in drama, but in nuance and restraint.
