Red Lifebuoy IX

Red Lifebuoy IX

Size: 1.22m x 0.82m  Medium: Oils on canvas  

Aug-Sep 2025  

The morning of Monday 27th of April 2015 was sunny and dry with a ridge of high pressure coming in after an overnight ground frost so, nice weather to go to Abingdon and take a few photographs of the Thames, for the time of year, as the WNW'ly wind was quite light, but increasing.

The red lifebuoy outside of "The Nag's Head" Public House looked to have interesting reflections in small wavelets which were being formed by the light-to-moderate wind gusts coming under an arch of Abingdon Bridge.
