Bitterne Boats Southampton acrylic painting
This painting shows a view of a number
of boats, some of them wrecks, on the River Itchen in Southampton,
Hampshire. It is based on a number of photographs taken from Northam
Bridge and looking toward the hilly suburb of Bitterne. The time is a
summer evening with calm waters and the tide going out from this
tidal estuary section of the river, revealing a land of mud and algae, and long lost sunken boats. The late evening light gives the
scene a slight golden glow.
The painting is done in acrylics on a
canvas board measuring 20” x 16”, and was painted in autumn 2014.
