Plein air painting 112
Mayflower park is a public area situated very close to the port of Southampton, and is an ideal vantage point to see all types of shipping either in the docks or leaving. The park was created in the 1930s from spoil retrieved from the building works in connection to the massive rebuilding of the port at that time.
In this view we are looking from the park, across the River Test (where the main port is situated off right) and see Marchwood, a military port, on the opposite side. A boat can be seen with a crane performing maintenance on the floating jetty in connection to the International Yacht show due to be held there later.
Painted on the 17th August, in oils on mounting board sized at 12" x 9.5".
