Description
Painted during one late August afternoon in 2021 this plein air artwork shows a view of Southampton Docks, as seen standing on Town Quay. Looking toward the river Test, a few miles beyond, we can see the 'Western Docks', built in the 1930s with some large cruse ships moored. The closest one is unknown, but is run by 'Royal Caribbean Cruises'. The second one with the red funnel is 'Queen Mary 2'. The third ship in the distance is a car transporter. The weathered and dilapidated wooden/ metal structure in front of the scene is the remains of the late Victorian Royal pier which closed after a troubled history in 1980, although there are plans to restore it.
The painting is done on a small piece of cardboard from the back of a sketch pad, sized at 11.5" x 8", and done in oils.
