Landscape painting comes a close second to Richard’s better-known sea pictures. The nature of his treatment of landscape changed from free brush-strokes to tightly organized compositions and then on to a new sort of freedom of style as he matured. There is always a sense of experimentation and often a certain intensity. He never fell back on a “safe” approach.
