Plein air painting 95

fawley oil refinery from New Forest heathland art
Looking across heathland on the New Forest, Hampshire, can be seen the venting pipes of the oil refinery at Fawley, a large industrial complex on the banks of Southampton water. The countryside landscape was painted on the 20th April 2023. Done in oils on mounting board, sized at 12" x 9.5". It was a very windy day when this was painted!

Horses and Heather in the New Forest

Horses and Heather in the New Forest

This painting is done in oils on a 20” x 16” canvas board during early September 2014. Pictured are some horses standing amongst a clearing with few trees, and lots of purple heather on the ground, during late summer. The location is about a mile away from Lyndhurst, a small town considered the gateway to the New Forest in Hampshire, UK. The forest sees many horses wandering around it but in this case the horses were added to the scene. They were seen on the same day but in a different location not too far away.
