Getting rid of old paintings 2022 batch 1

I have in the past had culls on artwork, but not done so for some time. I dislike old paintings and have no attachment to them. This batch of 20 or so were canvas/ canvas board and have been broken down into chunks that can be thrown away in household rubbish over time. The frames and fixings are saved. I still have another 50 or so to go, some probably as recent as 2019. My aim is now to only keep paintings for up to 3 years, so as to keep the management of them simple and current, meaning that even some recently exhibited paintings (over 3 years) are for the chop soon.

Nice to get back space!

Plein air painting 40

Painted in August 2021 during a hot afternoon this early 19th century grade II listed pretty Georgian house is pictured. It stands in Westgate Street in the 'Old town' area of the city of Southampton, where a number old buildings are to be seen, some of which are Tudor. West Gate itself is a Tudor archway that lead to the dock side, when the town was a walled one and had a castle very close by. The area is built on angled land leading to what would have originally been the port in past times. The extreme angle can be seen on the pavement, and continues around the property on the side road shown right. 

This plein air painting is done in oils on mounting board, sized at 12" x 9".
