Southampton Northam summer evening across the Itchen - oil painting

oil painting 'Southampton Northam summer evening across the Itchen'

East Southampton (UK) is the subject of this oil painting. It shows a scene at Northam, an area dominated by the marine industry, and with the river Itchen shown running through the industrial landscape. The tidal river is quite wide here, so on low tide the mudflats are exposed hosting many old wrecks of boats. On the far side of the river can be seen some smaller ships and in the extreme distance is the suburb of Bitterne, shown as houses on the hilly landscape.

This oil landscape painting was produced during June 2018. It is 20” x 28” in size and uses primed mounting board as its support. Using this link takes you to a higher resolution image of the finished painting.
