It's The Little Things.

Original Mixed media painting on wide edge canvas.

Comes professionally framed in Tassie Oak Shadow box frame.

A beautiful Poem from John Clare 1789 inspired this work.

“How fresh the air, the birds how busy now….
In every walk if I but peep I find….
Nests newly made or finished all and lined…..
With hair and thistle down and in the bough,
Of little hawthorn huddled up in green,
The leaves still thickening as the spring gets age….
The Pinks quite round and snug and closely laid,
And linnets of materials loose and rough ,
And still hedge sparrow moping in the shade,
Near the hedge bottom weaves of homely stuff…..
Dead grass and mosses green an hermitage,
For secrecy and shelter rightly made
And beautiful it is to walk beside,
The lanes and hedges where their homes abide.”
