Empty Seascapes and Landscapes
After his childhood in hilly Bradford, seeing the open horizon of the sea when he visited Sandsend near Whitby, was an extraordinary experience for Dad. Particularly later in life, he felt the need to simplify and empty his pictures of clutter and detail. He can create a feeling of vastness and spaciousness in quite a small painting.
