See another West Bay painting, Quayside, Dorset (1937).
This painting was bought by Prior and Queenie Lovelock from Richard's first exhibition of oil paintings in 1933. Prior Lockwood was a master at Bradford Grammar School at the same time as Richard studied there. When Richard's family moved to Ilkley in 1921, both families got to know each other. Prior and Queenie encouraged Richard's painting from the beginning, buying several works through the 1920s and 30s.
See Richard's portrait of Prior below.
