In January 1924 Richard had a winter holiday with his mother in Torquay. The sun didn’t reach their house in Ilkley during the winter months which was bad for someone suffering from TB. 

He used the trip to sketch and paint.  Sketches he did from his hotel room window of a ship in the harbour pounded by waves in a storm were not realised as paintings until several decades later - Storm Torquay (1989), High Seas, Torquay (1989), and Torquay Storm (c1983).
