Plein air painting 59

Painted during threatening weather, one summer morning in August 2022. The view is of a part of Southampton 'old' cemetery, with one of the main tarmac paths running across the scene. It did start to rain when this was painted, so the painting was abandoned until a few days later when again the weather did threaten to rain but never did. The rain left small white specks which can still be seen in some areas.

Painted on mounting board sized at 12" x 9.5".

Still life painting in oil of pewter decorative tea pot and jug. Nov 2022. It was painted (alla prima) with a group of other artists so the teapot was not in the best position from my view point.

Painted one early morning in August 2022 is this view within the large 'old' cemetery to be found in central Southampton, Hampshire. Quite a few dog walkers walked past me on a nearby, busy path, but this dirt path shown that led off the main one, saw no use.

Painted a few days after the previous post showing the gas holders at Northam, Southampton, this view features another view of the site. These are disused connecting/ pumping pipes situated near to the later holder from 1935. They can be seen clearly by standing in the car park at St Mary's stadium. I have learned to paint cars in quite early as typically they get driven off part through a painting.
