Plein air painting 50

Linking Northam with St Denys (Southampton UK) this wooden boardwalk was opened in 2010 and provides a welcome quick access for pedestrians and cyclists between the two areas set in the suburbs of the city. The path runs beside the river Itchen, an international area of wildlife conservation. 
The view looks toward the city from the downward gradient linking to the boardwalk. On the right-hand side is the main railway line to London, behind a fence. On the horizon can be seen the Northam gas holder, ocean village and Albion towers.
Painted in August 2022 on mounting board, sized at 12" x 9.5" in oils, one Saturday morning.

Plein air painting 44

Shamrock Quay, a boat yard in Southampton is the location of this 'plein air' art done in late summer 2021. Piles of wood, used to stabilise boats when in dry dock and old oil barrels can be seen in the foreground. The river Itchen is seen to be very wide at this point, with Southampton (Hampshire) in the background. To the right hand side can be seen St Marys stadium. As one moves toward the left, various business that deal with building materials can be seen on the dockside.
Painted on mounting board sized at 12" x 9.5",  using oils.

Bishopsgate London - oil painting

London, Bishopsgate finishd oil painting

Painted in May 2019, a busy view of Bishopsgate is shown. This is a main road on the edge of financial district of the city of London, and Liverpool Street station is seconds away on the right hand side of the street. A number of pedestrians can be seen to be crossing the road which appears to be full buses. It is a sunny day so plenty of shadows are cast on the ground. Interestingly light is being bounced around by some of the large glass fronted buildings so further shadows are cast leading to quite complex patterns on the road. The skyline is dominated by tall buildings so unusually there is no sky visible in the London landscape view.

This landscape oil painting is done on mounting board, with an area of 33” x 24”.
