A Winter Evening By Jamie Poole (JOHN CLARE POEM)
artwork based on the poem by Northamptonshire Artist John Clare (1793-1864) called 'A WInter Evening'.
Jamie has made this artwork after visiting snowy and still landscape in Northamptonshire. This 'painting' was made using the printed words of the poem with his collage technique known as 'text painting'. Words were cut, torn and layered to evoke the beauty of the wildlife and countryside surrounding his home in the United Kingdom.
Below is the poem this card is based on. You can even read parts of the poems in the card.

Winter Evening
The crib stock fothered, horses suppered up,
And cows in sheds all littered down in straw,
The threshers gone, the owls are left to whoop,
The ducks go waddling with distended craw
Through little hole made in the hen-roost door,
And geese with idle gabble never o`er
Bait careless hog until he tumbles down, Insult provoking spite to noise the more;
While fowl high-perched blink with contemptuous frown
On all the noise and bother heard below;
Over the stable-ridge in crowds,the crow,
With jackdaws intermixed, known by their noise,
To the warm woods behind the village go;
And whistling home for bed go weary boys.
John Clare (1793 - 1864)
