Paint out day at Fawley oil refinery.

On the 20th April 2023 I was in the New forest painting with some friends. We went to a part of the New Forest, Hampshire to paint the Fawley oil refinery from a distance of approximately 4km. The numerous chimney stacks dominate the skyline view from this distance. Our painting position was very close to the 'Royal Oak' pub, near to the junction of Rollestone Rd meeting Beaulieu Rd.
The day was dry and sunny but the wind very strong with even the heavy portable easel almost tipping over. The painting was done in under 2 hours.
