Across Jersey Marine Beach…
(Inspired by Sarah Evans’ painting of Glamorgan, Wales…)
Rather wild weather is betrayed by the huffs and puffs of white
Smoke from two towers at the steelworks and a wayward scarf blowing
About the artist’s neck, as she keeps Alf close. And the might
Of a sullen, colourless tide, unperturbed and yet irritable, continues flowing
Towards the shore…
Daubed like gloom, industry has become the seascape
For the artist and her dog, mere silhouettes regarding the silhouetted plant.
And despite apparent freedom, the lurking buildings inhibit their escape
And command attention, their curious complexity bold and askance
Across the shore…

25th December 2025…
The scene is a rare one but splendidly rendered by the acrylic touches of the artist, Sarah Evans.
(Not the American singer Sara Evans, but I Could Not Ask For More…)
