Plein air 28
The river Itchen is shown in the suburb of Northam, in the city of Southampton, Hampshire. It is still quite large at this point and is tidal. The long bridge shown is the Northam Bridge, an early concreate structure built in 1957. The modern flat development (Meridian) behind contains 400 homes and was still being built at the time this plein air was done, in June 2021. It is named after the Meridian TV company that formerly occupied the site. Painted in oils early one morning on mounting board, sized at 12" x 9.5" from the Bitterne side of the river.
