Nicholas Wilton.
"In spring the wind whips up a kite / Right outside my window. / Silver raindrops catch the light / Right outside my window." The rhymes about seasonal scenes witnessed outside the unseen narrator's window are somewhat trite, but the textured paintings on a concrete surface with visible brushstrokes create vital, almost iconic folk art scenes.
