Plein air painting 27

Painted in July 2021 this view shows the Guildhall, a part of Southampton civic centre which acts as a venue for music and other public events. It was build in 1937, along with the police station, library, council offices and art gallery. It is situated in the Cultural Quarter of the City, and occupies one side of the square which was refurbished a few years before this painting.
The plein air painting measures 12" x 9.5" and is done on mounting board in oils. It was done in two stages as work had to be abandoned on the original sitting, so was continued a few days later making sure that the time and weather conditions were the same.
