Plein air painting 147 17th july cemetery wide afternoon

Plein air painting 147 

old graves Southampton old cemetery art

Southampton 'Old' cemetery provides many interesting views to other local artists and photographers. The large area features a Victorian cemetery, rarely used for burials now. Nature is constantly attempting to take over the site and bury the wonky headstones in long grass and ivy. This view shows such a scene as see from one of the main routes through the area.
This 'wide' plein air painting is sized at 14 x 7.5", done on mounting board and painted in oils. Created during the afternoon of 17th July 2024 while standing in the shade on this hot day.
Below is a photo showing the pochade box set up on the tripod with the painting almost finished.
