Plein air painting 91

Plein air painting 91 (unfinished)

This view shows the B3079 going through the Bramshaw area of the New Forest, Hampshire. On the right hand side (off canvas) would be the Green Dragon pub. The sky was quite foreboding when I started this plein air landscape. Sadly after about 30mins it started to rain. I continued for another 15 mins or so but had to stop because the raindrops were settling on the oil paint to an uncontrolled amount, like little beads. Fortunately I had got the painting to a level where it is showable, even if not actually finished. When the water droplets finally disappeared, little circles/ dots are left in the paintwork.

Plein air painting 90

Palmerston Park is one of five parks to be found in central Southampton. Looking south across the park, past Pound Tree road/ neighbouring Houndwell Park and in the very distance W Bargate road. The large trees made very pleasant shadows on the ground while the diminishing foliage blurred in with the buildings in the background.
