A Ramble by the Riverside Greeting Card

This gift card is based on a painting by Northamptonshire artist Jamie Poole called  'A Ramble by the Riverside'


They are a big bold A5 size and come with a nice white envelope. 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.


A Ramble by the River Side


A ramble by the rivers side

In Spring times dewy eve

Where teal and widgeon turn to hide

In reeds which them receive

Tis sweet at eventide to go

By rivers winding rim

Where dark and deep the waters flow

And shoals of fish do swim

A ramble by the rivers side Is pleasant in the summer

Where dragon flies on gauze wings hide

And the bee's a minstrel hummer

A ramble by the river side

No walk so sweet can be

To see the creeping waters glide

And hear the humble bee

There's nothing else so fine to see

As a fast flowing river

Hemm'd by green banks continually

And winding on for ever

There nature lives devoid of strife

There boats sail on the tide

There's nought so sweet to me in life

As a walk by the rivers side




John Clare (1793-1864)
