Ships | Boats | Harbours | Ports
Harbours and ports feature mainly in the early part of Richard’s career, but the ships, boats and other craft are a subject throughout. He spent the winter months of 1932/3 in Lyme Regis working towards his first exhibition of paintings at the Redfern Gallery titled 'Dorset Seaports'. This followed the show at the Goupil in 1929 which consisted solely of drawings. He loved the working ports and the atmosphere of camaraderie among the men concentrating on their tasks, as well as the beauty of the ships themselves.
