Vast Marsh, Suffolk

A big sky, a summer cloud, and the marsh stretching as far as the eye can see

Carlton Marshes on a fine summer day - and the word that comes to mind is vast. The sky is enormous here, the way it only is in flat, open landscapes, and on this day a great light cloud sits in it with the easy confidence of something that has all the time in the world. Below, the marsh stretches wide and green, and a dyke leads the eye into the picture plane, drawing you deeper into the scene - into the reeds, the water, the particular stillness of a Suffolk summer afternoon.

Small in format but expansive in feeling, this is a painting that captures the essential quality of the Carlton Marshes - the sense of space, light, and quiet that makes this nature reserve one of the finest places to simply be in Suffolk. Presented in a black frame with a gold bevel, it arrives ready to hang.
