Oils on water
What I love
about this detail
from a recent canvas
is the way the colours
in the foreground
appear to be floating
on water or on ice :
it could be a pond
or a stretch of canal
frozen over such as
on Thursday
up by Ladbroke Grove
when I saw two swans
that were wondering
where to go with ice
all around them
and seemingly
no way out
