| Southampton Cenotaph Autumn - oil painting |
During September 2017 this painting was
created, depicting the Cenotaph in Watts Park, central Southampton.
The aim of the painting was to show visually the season of the
autumn, so recently laid poppy wreaths are shown on the monument, as
well as the more obvious golden leaves on the ground on a crisp,
sunny but chilly day.
The monument was designed by Edwin
Lutyens, who used this as a test bed for the Whitehall Cenotaph in
London, and which was in tun was used for many such Cenotaphs around
the world. It is grade 1 listed.
This painting measures 28” x 20”
and is painted, in oils, on mounting board. The under-painting was
done in acrylic paint.
The artwork can be seen in more detail
