Southampton cargo ship as seen at Weston Shore

Southampton cargo ship as seen at Weston Shore

This oil painting was done in March 2014 on a small 10” x 12” canvas board. It shows a scene one sunny morning of a 'Wallenius Wilhelmsen' cargo ship, loading up with cars, docked at the Eastern Docks at Southampton. The view is a typical one as seen from Weston Shore on the opposite side of Southampton Water and the large grain silos are a distinctive landmark in the area.

Winter Fishing at Weston Shore, Southampton

Winter Fishing at Weston Shore, Southampton

A group of people are seen fishing in Southampton Water, on Weston Shore, Southampton, during a sunny winters afternoon. The shore is made up of shingle, and this location is near to the car park. On the opposite side of the water is a part of the port of Southampton where a 'Wallenius Wilhelmsen' ship is in dock, next to the distinctive silos which are a local landmark at the entrance to the port.

The painting is done in oils on a canvas board measuring 16” x 20”, and was painted during autumn 2013, based on a photo taken during January of that year.

Single Boat on Eling Mudflats

Single Boat on Eling Mudflats

This painting was created in April 2014, and is executed in oils on a canvas panel, sized at 10” x 12”. It shows a number of yachts and boats resting on the mudflats at Eling Mill, hampshire. The composition concentrates on one boat and its reflection in the water. This reflection in the water drew me to the setting as did the red buoy, complementing the blue of the boat and sky.

Two boats on Eling Mudflats-acrylic painting

This painting features two boats resting on the mudflats at Eling, near to the old mill, in the county of Hampshire. It is based on a photograph that had three boats in it, but I removed one to make a clearer composition, with just two boats beside the river bank, and added more mud and foliage to the right. The painting was done in April 2014 and is painted in acrylics on a board sized at 10” x 12”.

This small 10” x12” oil painting was done in March 2014. It shows the famous pier at Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, from the cliff tops during a summers morning. Already some holiday makers are settling down on the beach which will become very busy as the day goes on. In the distance can be seen the Purbecks.

The pier, in its current form, was built in the 1950s and features a theatre.

Sailing boat preparation at Weston Shore Southampton

Sailing boat preparation at Weston Shore Southampton

This 10” x 12” oil painting was created during February 2014 in one sitting, painting 'wet in to wet'.

The subject is a number of sailing boats being prepared for use on the water one afternoon, on the waterfront at Weston Shore on Southampton water. It is a spot where many famous ships of the past would have been viewed from sailing away from the UK, as well as current cruise ships. The dead tree, with many missing branches is a landmark in the locality. In the background can be seen the start of the port of Southampton with some large grain silos and a car transporting ship beside moored up.

two boats on mudflats at Eling WIP

This picture shows the progression of a small, 10" x 12" painting of two boats resting on mudflats at Eling, near to the River Test, Hampshire. The painting was done in acrylics and took less than a day to do, based on a photograph  I had taken a few months earlier, though I did remove a third boat from the scene as it was a bit cramped. A proper photograph of the boat paint will be taken in due course.
