This is a 'painting' made using collage techniques from the words of the famous Northamptonshire poet John Claire. His words have been meticulously used to create collage techniques that reveal lines of poetry and can be read within the picture.


My inspiration comes from nature and the local environment of lakes, rivers, a woods where I live. This painting shows the old mill that once stood at the village of Bozeat with an owl silently flying past in the moonlight. 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!


The Poem collaged into this painting:


Evening


by John Clare


Barn door fowls have gone to bed

Though the sun is two yards high

Ere it reach the top lands head

That takes days lamp from out the sky

Now the horses round the cribs

Brouzes o'er the coarser hay

While the ploughmen comb their ribs

'Till the evening wanes to grey.


Then the boy with speach all hoarse

Mocking the echo in the wood

Brings the cows from their green close

That in the hovel chew their cud

Now the owl on wheaten wing

And white hood scowling o'er his eyes

Jerking with a sudden spring

Through three-cornered barn hole flies.


The sun is sinking low and red

A coal turned dim from gazing

Among the oak-trees goes to bed

And sets the woods a blazing

The dewy leaves will quickly drop

And daylight close his eye

And labours rustic sounds will stop

'Neath evenings quiet sky

The Owl on Wheaten Wing

I made this painting in 2020 using collage papers I created and printed out. The windmill in the back ground once stood in the village of Bozeat in Northamptonshire. My main materials are paper, glue and scalpel blade which I used to layer and cut the materials to form the composition. Often the main feature such as the animal or bird are made separately first by layering different coloured  paper all of which have the words of poetry already printed on them..

I really enjoy seeing the scenes emerge on the board as I work and they are a realization of ideas which are carefully planned using photographs, patterns and of course my own experiences in the countryside in Northamptonshire and beyond in the United Kingdom.

I accept commissions and can make a painting with virtually any starting point, photograph or poem. On my website you will see landscapes, animals, birds and portraits all using my word art techniques. Please get in touch if you want to learn more about my work. I would love to hear from you.
