A Winter Walk By Jamie Poole (JOHN CLARE POEM)
based on the poem by Northamptonshire Artist John Clare (1793-1864) called 'A Winter Walk'.
Jamie has made this artwork after being inspired by the landscape near Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland. 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 Walk
The holly bush, a sober lump of green,
Shines through the leafless shrubs all brown and grey,
And smiles at winter be it eer so keen
With all the leafy luxury of May.
And O it is delicious, when the day In winter's loaded garment keenly blows
And turns her back on sudden falling snows,
To go where gravel pathways creep between
Arches of evergreen that scarce let through
A single feather of the driving storm;
And in the bitterest day that ever blew
The walk will find some places still and warm
Where dead leaves rustle sweet and give alarm
To little birds that flirt and start away.
John Clare
