Painting punts at The Cherwell Boathouse

Photo of punters on the cherwell in Oxford at The Cherwell Boat house

My favourite subject in Oxford is painting the punts on the Cherwell. The  main punthouse is The Cherwell Boathouse where you can rent punts by the hour. I love the structure of the boats and the amazing colours of the varnished wood against the green of the river. I painted this oil painting at the early stages of my use of oil paints and have modified the painting over time as I have learnt more about oils. This painting has sat in my studio for a long time bcause I keep on thinking that it needs some figures.
