Setting Sun

Loose Leaves – Art Inspired

 

Dame Laura Knight - Setting Sun

Three poems inspired by a single painting, Dame Laura Knight’s “Setting Sun” (exhibited at Paris Salon, 1967).

 

 

Birdsong.

 

Settling in the

evening sun.

 

Autumn

on the water –

gold-flecked lint.

 

***

 

Autumn

on the water –

light filtered

through linseed oil

into soft paint.

 

***

 

Autumn

on the water –

rippling clouds.
