Rabbit and Guinea Pigs (1918)
Richard’s earliest panorama is this watercolour. He painted a dark background to show up the tricoloured guinea pig and the white rabbit. But the black ears of the rabbit still make an impact against the dark. Each animal has his own personality.
The Sea (1923)
Mature work for a 20-year old. An experiment in painting an ‘empty’ picture. The treatment of light and the close observation of how waves behave are remarkable.
Windy Solent (1988)
Near the end of his life but still painting with vigour and a sense of excitement.
