Painted on the same day as the previous post (a) is a view from exactly the same spot but turned to look across the river Hamble/ Southampton water. Here can be seen a ship docked near to the Fawley oil refinery on the edge of the New Forest, Hampshire. This painting was done in oils on a small (8" x 7") piece of mounting board.

A number of paintings were done on a visit to Warsash, Hampshire, situated by the river Hamble as it runs into Southampton water. This spot shows the nature reserve at Hook during a sunny day in August. The water shown is situated in an overflow area for the high tide. The long horizontal structure is a jetty that travels into the river for some distance.

This painting was done as a demo during an event at October Books, Southampton during the summer. Unfortunately, I became ill and messed up the painting. A few weeks later I returned to it and shoved some more paint on it, in an attempt to tart it up and get something out of it. Various pieces of photo reference were used from previous visits.

The painting can be seen in greater detail on this link.
