Plein air painting 54

Painted in very early September 2022 one Sunday morning, Mount Pleasant Junior School is the main subject in this street view, set in Northam, Southampton. The Victorian building is well maintained and has a pretty clock tower, recently refurbished. This painting is unusual for me in that it is painted in portrait format (still on board sized at 12" x 9.5") in oils. Painting this way is a little difficult using the equipment I have so I tend to stick to landscape format.
