Goldfinches Drift

 LISA HOOPER A Charm of Goldfinches hand coloured linocut £250 framed, £200 unframed

Our good friend John Burns sent us this brilliant poem. It's perfect for the season, so I thought I would share it with you. It also goes very nicely with one of the artworks that we have in the gallery - 'A Charm of Goldfinches' by Lisa Hooper. John actually wasn't aware of Lisa's linocut and got a pleasant surprise when he saw it in the gallery.

John is a teacher, poet and author. Some of you may remember the very successful and lively book launch that we had for him in the gallery for his book 'Series of Dreams - The Vision Songs of Bob Dylan'.
