Southampton cultural quarter oil painting

Pictured is one of the main streets in the city of Southampton, known as Above Bar St, because it is north of the Bargate which was the main route through the high walls in to the main town centuries ago.
On the left can be seen a recent development consisting of bars, a theatre and the John Hansard Gallery. The view is looking down south into the city, while on the right hand side are university buildings. The road going right serves the City art gallery, library and Sea City Museum. The scooters typify modern personal transport.
Painted in late September 2022 on a sunny early morning. Its done in oils on mounting board sized at 12" x 9.5".
