Weymouth Pillows

The river Wey starts off as just a trickle of a stream just a few miles North of Weymouth (Dorset, UK), but by the time it nears the sea its wide enough for a marina, and this section of the old harbour that straddles the river on its last leg to the sea. By day the scene is a hotch-potch of old buildings, but by evening light, the street lights and reflections make it even more magical. Painted in oil on a 16x12 inch board, based on photos I took at dusk in late November.

From an original acrylic work, this shows the harbour in Weymouth and conjures up the unique vibe of a busy coastal holiday town in UK. This was painted from an original photograph taken on vacation in 2007 but some things never change and Weymouth is one of them. Originals of my work are now in collections in UK, America and Europe.

The harbourside at Weymouth in Dorset, England. Situated at the mouth of the River Wey, it separates the main town, Melcombe Regis,from Weymouth on the southern side. The two are connected by a bridge - or a rowing boat ferry! Weymouth became popular with tourists after King George III's brother built a grand residence there in the late 1700s and the king himself chose to holiday in the town for 14 successive years. This is reflected in the esplanade's fine Georgian and Regency architecture. Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200

Evening in Weymouth Number of views as of 8th October 2018 = 1210. Probably my favourite view of Weymouth harbour, facing east towards the harbour entrance, taken from the lifting bridge, with the sun slowly sinking behind the camera. Location: Weymouth, Dorset, England (venue for the 2012 Olympic Sailing events). In days gone by, Weymouth and the surrounding coastline had a history of smuggling, though it was also the centre of preventive operations for the area. Date: 10th May 2008.

Weymouth Rover Number of views as of 4th March 2018 = 875. A rather fine classic car, pictured on Weymouth promenade (Dorset, England), believed to be a 1948 Rover 12 Sports Tourer. Rover 12 production began in 1905 and continued until the late 1940s, with several 'updates' along the way and gaps in production during the war years. Only 200 of these 'tourers' were built in the post 2nd world war period in 1947 & 1948. Date: 1st July 2012. Click here to view my gallery of classic cars and commercial vehicles.

A poster-style painting of Weymouth Seaside Town Dorset. Weymouth is a seaside town in Dorset, southern England. Its sandy beach is dotted with colorful beach huts and backed by Georgian houses.

I spotted this scene when I was in Weymouth (Dorset, UK) last year - a man making repairs to some fishing gear, beside his boat, at the quayside. Having found a nice way to frame the scene I've now painted this in oil on a 12x12 inch board - one of hopefully a series of people working in interesting jobs.

You'll look fa fa fa fa far better in this design.

The Hilltop Steakhouse was a chain of restaurants in Eastern Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire that existed from 1961 to 2013. The original location opened in Saugus, Massachusetts in 1961, and operated until 2013. In a hilltop location with a giant saguaro cactus sign, the restaurant was a landmark on Route 1 north of Boston. The last restaurant existed only as a butcher shop in Weymouth. The other locations with Hilltop restaurants were Hartford, Nashua, Braintree, and Springfield. Who can forget the 60 foot neon cactus sign? Great gift for Bostonians, New Englanders and Steak lovers.

Nothe Fort, Weymouth, June 2021 On the ramparts of Nothe Fort, overlooking the seaside town of Weymouth (Dorset, England) is an ant-aircraft gun emplacement, a rusting relic of the Second World War, and a reminder of a conflict which ended over 75 years ago. The fort was built between 1860 and 1872 by the Royal Engineers, as part of Britain's coastal defences, to protect Portland and Weymouth Harbours, with Portland then becoming an important Royal Navy base. Used during both World Wars, the fort was abandoned in 1956 and was purchased by Weymouth and Portland council in 1961. It is now an interesting museum and one of the best-preserved forts of its kind in the country. Date: 13th June 2021.
