My Landscape Painting
My Landscape Painting
Let me describe my painting,
Of a pastel colour landscape,
A Beautiful British Waterway,
Forming our scene and shape.
Walking by the water’s edge,
Following the towpath trail,
Pace of life serene and slow,
Barges powered, ready to sail.
There’s something about Canals,
Contented people with a smile,
A Detachment from Urban life,
If not for long, then for a while.
Gently the water meanders,
Through Country, Town and Vale,
River flowing alongside,
Cutting through hills and Dale.
The sounds of hope and nature,
Heron Kingfisher, Birdsong,
Squirrels playful, scurry and chase,
While Robin is bob, bobbing along.
Midges skim the surface,
Fish blowing bubbles in jest,
The Angler pitting his skills,
A contest to see who is best.
Waterways once built for Cargo,
From an old industrial past,
Now they carry for pleasure,
Memories to grow and last.
Would you like to buy my painting?
Of a pastel colour landscape.
It’s signed with love by the artist,
Portraying, the scene and the shape.
