Bradford (1918)
This early oil painting gives a very fresh and vivid feeling of a street in Bradford in the snow in the early years of the 20th century towards the end of WW1.
York Festival Triptych (1956)
This is one of Richard’s largest pictures and the detail is breath-taking. The actual Festival theatre is taking place in the top left hand corner in the Abbey ruins. Meanwhile the street Miracle play crossing a bridge is on the move and free to viewers of all sorts.
Chatsworth to Represent Sheffield at Play (1960-61)
This is one of two murals commissioned for the annexe of the Teaching Hospital in Sheffield. That has been knocked down to make way for a more modern and spacious building and unfortunately because of their huge size these two canvases are rolled up and in storage. Nowhere has yet been found for them to be hung and seen by the Sheffield people which is a shame.
