Seascapes | Coastal Scenes
Although Richard’s early life was in landlocked Bradford, the sea eventually became a dominant theme for him, its horizon symbolizing somehow a distant yearning within him. The sight of the sea always thrilled him in a way that nothing else did. He experienced a few memorable sea trips but most of his observation was from the land or from an imagined high point in the sky.
