Plein air painting 110

Facing Southampton Water is this dominant structure, known as the Royal Victoria Hospital Chapel. It was originally the central part of a much larger military hospital, over a 1/4 of mile long and in use for 100 years or so. It was demolished in 1966, bar this section. The area is now known as the Royal Victoria Park, and is very near to the village of Netley (Hampshire).
The painting shown here was done on the 13 July 2023 on a very windy day, coming directly off Southampton Water at full force! Its painted in oils on mounting board, sized at 12" x 9.5". 

Netley Hospital Chapel-Weston Shore

Netley Hospital Chapel-Weston Shore

Oil painting of the Victorian tower of Netley Hospital Chapel, rising above the trees in the Royal Victoria Country Park, Hampshire. The chapel is now the only part of the large Military hospital that was situated there still in existence. The park is very close to the Southampton Water/ Weston Shore area of Hampshire and the Chapel tower a local landmark.

The painting measures 10” x 12” and was based on a poor quality mobile photograph taken during a sunny winters day. It was painted using the 'wet in wet ' technique during a one day sitting.

This is a happy lion family out enjoying a day out in the park. The child, wearing a football kit is propelled along in a pushchair. The mother has just been to a fashion clothing shop, judging by the bag she is carrying. The illustration is portrayed from a very low angle, as can be seen from the grass and flowers on the bottom right hand side of the image, to give added depth and interest. Painted in 2009  


This illustration depicts the events of an animal hospital. A lion cub is in a hospital bed, while a lion doctor examines the patients notes. A lioness nurse looks on. The digital painting is set at a low and wide angle to add interest and to make the plight of the cub important. Painted in 2009.
