Emmonsails Heath Greeting Card

This is a gift card based on one of my paintings 'A Winter Evening'.


They are a big bold A5 size and come with a nice white envelop. They are great to send as greetings cards to friends and loved ones.


The 'paintings' are made using collage techniques from the words of the famous 'Northamptonshire peasant poet' John Clare. To make the original artworks I printed the poem in a range a up-to date and trendy colours and then cut, ripped, arranged and glued the words into these inspired designs.


My inspiration comes from nature and wonderful lino cut print making that I admire. The words of the poem add a bit more magic to my imagination and allow you to see into the world of the poet and me - the artist!


I hope you love these designs as much as I did making them!


Below is just one of the poems this series of cards are based on. You can even read parts of the poems in the paintings.


Emmonsails Heath in Winter


I love to see the old heath's withered brake

Mingle its crimpled leaves with furze and ling,

While the old heron from the lonely lake

Starts slow and flaps its melancholy wing,

An oddling crow in idle motion swing

On the half-rotten ash-tree's topmost twig,

Beside whose trunk the gypsy makes his bed.

Up flies the bouncing woodcock from the brig

Where a black quagmire quakes beneath the tread;

The fieldfares chatter in the whistling thorn

And for the haw round fields and closen rove,

And coy bumbarrels, twenty in a drove,

Flit down the hedgerows in the frozen plain

And hang on little twigs and start again.


John Clare (1793-1864)
