Ship and ice creams at Mayflower Park Southampton - oil painting

Finished art of the ship docked at Mayflower Park

Mayflower Park, in the city of Southampton is the subject of this painting, completed during early spring 2020. The park is on the waterside and it is here that the public and easily view cruse ships and other ships using and docking at the port. The ship shown is a Freedom-class cruise ship operated by the Royal Caribbean cruise line. She is named 'Independence of the Seas'. The landscape painting is based on a photograph taken during summer 2012. A popular attraction at the park is the 'Mr Whippy' ice cream van, a very colourful sight compared to the drab colours of the cruise ship. This Hampshire based marine painting is painted in oils on a section of mounting board, sized at 20” x 16”. Details of the painting can be seen on this link.

Marwell Zoo Zany Zebra campaign 2016 update 14

The 'Zany Zebra' trail in Southampton officially started on the 16 July. I have not taken 'proper' pictures of my two Zebra creations in place as yet but I did snap the 'Seafaring Zebra', a design using ships and boats and sponsored by Associated British Ports. As the Zebra was standing in the company of a large cruise ship it was a good opportunity not to miss!

 A couple are standing at the ferry terminal at Southampton looking towards the East Docks, at the P&O Cruise ship MV Ventura, one of the largest in Europe, built in 2008. Dwarfed by the MV Ventura is the tug tender Calshot with its characterful red funnel, It was built in Southampton in 1929, and is undergoing restoration. The long, narrow silver building is the Southampton ocean terminal, opened in 2009, and gleaming in the summer sunshine!
This painting was done in acrylics on a canvas board sized at 10” x 12”.
