Plein air painting 105

Viewed along the River Hamble (Hampshire) is this walkway that runs between Warsash and Swanwick. The area is prone to flooding every time the tide is in, so the walkway is of a certain height to combat this. The river is on the left side of the painting while the right side is used for drainage. In the background can be seen Hamble marina. Painted in oils on mounting board, sized at 12" x 9.5". Done on a hot and windy 15th June 2023.

River Hamble Lagoon Hampshire

River Hamble Lagoon Hampshire

 

This painting shows a lagoon running parallel along the River Hamble (out of scene), in Hampshire, near to the City of Southampton. The river was at low tide so revealing a large expanse of mudflats in the area with lagoons interruption the landscape The artist was struck by the prettiness of the scene with the brown wet mud and foliage contrasting with the bright blue of the sky reflecting in the water.

This painting was created in April 2014 in an afternoon, using oils on a canvas board measuring 10” x 12.

Southampton River Hamble acrylic painting

Southampton River Hamble

River Hamble, Southampton

This painting is of the River Hamble, near to the Solent and Southampton, in the UK. It is based on a view photographed during the spring of 2012, and features a view of the marina, near the town of warsash, packed full of boats. There are a number of marinas down the river. The land is very flat and when the tide goes out the mud flats are revealed, showing a covering of moss and algae, with pockets of water isolated from the river. The River Hamble contains many old shipwrecks of  archaeological importance. I was drawn to this scene for my painting by this strong, green landscape, that only appears for part of the day and the way that puddles of water remain   creating their own small rivers through the landscape.
This painting is created in acrylic on a canvas measuring 20" x 16".
