Abstract, mixed media landscape painting by Carolyn J Roberts
Where the landscape waits beneath gathering weather.
An expressive small work inspired by the Isle of Skye — capturing that familiar stillness that settles across the land before rain arrives. Before the Rain reflects the quiet tension of shifting skies, where cloud begins to gather over distant hills and the atmosphere feels heavy with approaching weather.
Created using monoprint and oil paint on paper, the surface carries layered textures and gestural marks that echo the movement of wind, cloud, and changing light across the landscape. Darkened passages suggest ridges and shoreline forms beneath brooding skies, while softer tonal areas bring moments of openness and depth to the composition.
There is a quiet anticipation within the piece — a sense of the landscape holding its breath before the rain begins to fall. The interplay between darker tones and lighter spaces mirrors the ever-changing nature of Skye’s weather, where stillness and movement exist side by side.
