Paintings for Children
Even while working on pictures for the Admiralty during the War, Richard (now father to two children) felt the urge to paint pictures specifically to be enjoyed by children but without being patronising. His 'Paintings For Children' was a solo show at the Redfern in 1945.
He put his first paintings into the 'Pictures for Schools' scheme at the Tate in 1948. He continued to participate in the scheme for some years after that, winning the children's favourite painting accolade several times.
