Painted on the same day as the previous post (a) is a view from exactly the same spot but turned to look across the river Hamble/ Southampton water. Here can be seen a ship docked near to the Fawley oil refinery on the edge of the New Forest, Hampshire. This painting was done in oils on a small (8" x 7") piece of mounting board.

A number of paintings were done on a visit to Warsash, Hampshire, situated by the river Hamble as it runs into Southampton water. This spot shows the nature reserve at Hook during a sunny day in August. The water shown is situated in an overflow area for the high tide. The long horizontal structure is a jetty that travels into the river for some distance.

Painted on mounting board sized at 12" x 9.5" in oils, summer 2022.
