Into the marshes depths

A new home, a new landscape, and the heat of a late summer

This is one of the first paintings made after a move to the East Coast of England - a landscape discovered fresh, seen with new eyes, and felt with all the heightened attention that comes with arriving somewhere for the first time. It depicts the marshes at Oulton Broad in late summer, when the grasses have sunburnt to gold and amber and the heat sits heavy over the water.

More than a landscape, it is a painting about a sensation - that distinct, warm, slightly smoky smell of sun-scorched grass on a still summer day. The kind of smell that stays with you. The kind of place that becomes part of you, quietly, before you even realise it.

Collecting original art

Owning an original painting means owning something no one else in the world has. This piece was painted entirely by hand by Marta Stolarska - every tone of burnt grass observed, every shimmer of late summer heat considered with care.

Burnt grass, still heat, and the smell of a late summer on the East Coast - a painting that takes you straight there.
