Plein air painting 55 

Painted one Sunday afternoon in August 2022 this old, long dead fallen tree was seen in the 'old' cemetery at Southampton. Covered in ivy and surrounded by tall undergrowth it made a great subject for the size of a piece of board that was in my 'pochade box', different to the usual size I work at.
Painted in oils on mounting board sized at 12" x 7.5".

This outdoor forest was painted during June 2019. It depicts a view within the New Forest, which is set in the county of Hampshire, of the south coast of the UK. It is a hot day but the densely packed trees offer shade from the hot summers day.

This landscape painting is created in oils on mounting board, sized at 20” x 16”, and can be examined in greater detail on this link.

New Forest hill with cows and horses

This painting shows a summer scene in the New Forest, Hampshire, with a hill dominating the composition. At the base of the hill can be seen a pair of cows sitting and relaxing in the sun. Up the hill on a path that winds up to the top stand a small group of horses. Unfortunately the name of the hill is unknown.

The painting is done in acrylics on a stretched canvas measuring 16” x 20”, during June 2016.

Horse in New Forest

Horse in New Forest

This painting shows a brown horse in the New Forest, Hampshire. It is based on a number of photographs taken during spring at that location. The horse was not there but was added to the composition from another photograph taken on the same day. It is painted in oils on an acrylic base, the canvas being sized at 16” x 20”. The painting took a few days to do, being completed early June 2014.
