Plein art painting 11

Plein air painting of tree trucks by path.

Painted on a sunny September morning this plein air sketch shows tree trunks beside a tarmac path running through a part of Southampton common, Hampshire. Plenty of people were passing on their way to work and school but most probably did not notice me hidden on the opposite side of the path, hidden in the shade. The painting is 12" x 9" and done in oils over a 2 hr period. It is on a light brown coloured ground.
