Southampton Watts Park in the Snow
This painting was created in early 2013
and is based on a crude photograph taken with my mobile phone a few
weeks before of Watts Park (also known as West Park) when covered
with snow. I took a number of pictures at the time and the romantic
couple seen here were added from one of those to help give a sense of
scale and interest. The statue is of Issac Watts, a famous resident
of the town of Southampton. Born in 1674, Watts was a leading
nonconformist. I thought the dark, bare trees made an interesting
contrast to the fresh white snow.
The painting has a base of red acrylic
paint, followed with the actual painting done in oil. It its painted
at size of 16” x 20” on canvas.
