Plein air painting 31

Painted in August 2021 this plein air landscape artwork shows a view of Town Quay road, Southampton, Hampshire. The view, west of the street, is occupied by a number of bars and restaurants down the bottom of the road is the Southampton Royal Pier Pavilion, a large white building. The dominant building in the painting is Gods House Tower, a Tudor building now used as an arts centre, but was once part of the defences of the walled city 500 years ago. Only a part of the building is shown, the actual tower would be seen off to the far right. It is painted in oils on mounting board, sized at 12" x 9.5". Because of changing lighting conditions the painting was started one morning and then, when the lighting (and time) was the same, continued 10 days later.
