Plein air painting 66

A tree is shown, as seen on Southampton common, Hampshire, on an early summer morning in August. It was early enough to feel a little chilly! The tarmac path leads from the south up to the north of the common as a busy route for cyclists, joggers and others, including school children, to help get from one area of the city to the other avoiding the busy traffic that surrounds the common on each of the four sides.

The painting measures 12" x 9.5" and is painted in oils on shop reclaimed cardboard.
