Notes About The Poem

Constable's portrait of his beloved wife Maria http://www.john-constable.net/portrait-of-maria-bicknell/

Painture of the Particular

Originality enshrined
      .... shifting truths 
of nature
        a fresh sparkle 

timeless 
     perfection 
      in shadowed light 
uncompromising 
   love in mezzotinct
 surrounded 
& discerned
     in the particular 
    en plein air
