Southampton cargo ship as seen at Weston Shore

Southampton cargo ship as seen at Weston Shore

This oil painting was done in March 2014 on a small 10” x 12” canvas board. It shows a scene one sunny morning of a 'Wallenius Wilhelmsen' cargo ship, loading up with cars, docked at the Eastern Docks at Southampton. The view is a typical one as seen from Weston Shore on the opposite side of Southampton Water and the large grain silos are a distinctive landmark in the area.

Winter Fishing at Weston Shore, Southampton

Winter Fishing at Weston Shore, Southampton

A group of people are seen fishing in Southampton Water, on Weston Shore, Southampton, during a sunny winters afternoon. The shore is made up of shingle, and this location is near to the car park. On the opposite side of the water is a part of the port of Southampton where a 'Wallenius Wilhelmsen' ship is in dock, next to the distinctive silos which are a local landmark at the entrance to the port.
The painting is done in oils on a canvas board measuring 16” x 20”, and was painted during autumn 2013, based on a photo taken during January of that year.
