The curved space used by the artist
Creates an illusion of distance
This in turn adds to a feeling of mystery
It is a painting of a flat estuary
With the waters in the foreground
Creating an unusual perspective
I visited this area some years ago
As I have always been fascinated by horizons
My new wife accompanied me and she marvelled
At the clarity of the blues and the yellows
So rare and unexpected on that rigid day
She wrote this poem in her winter diary
