Diary extracts for September 1946
19th Sep 1946:
Staying with Kenneth Harrison at Cambridge for more drawing
23rd Sep 1946:
Motored back to London, having had a hairbreadth escape from a car coming towards me which seemed to be quite out of control.
First to Redfern with two unsatisfactory paintings to send to the NEAC. [Winter Seascape, Landscape Study]
They say they sent a painting for UNESCO, but I can’t think which one it is . . . [Hampshire Coastal Scene (1937)]
Then to Green and Stone to collect frames and stretchers. The new carrier on top of the car took these very well.
Saw many smashes and careless driving on the way back home. No wonder there are so many fatalities on the roads.
28th Sep 1946:
Painting all day up to 6pm on The Man with a Sword.
It is in an awful mess, but will have to peg away at it.
29th Sep 1946:
The BBC 3rdProgramme started tonight . . .
29th Sep 1946:
Started a small painting of The Dreamer, a sleeping figure in a cornfield.(finished 2nd October 1946)
30th Sep 1946:
Painting in the morning. In the afternoon had four more teeth out, including three front ones which were eaten away at the roots. I hope this will make a difference to my general health.
