Trees | Woods | Forests
Trees as a stand-alone subject occupied Richard’s mind when still a teenager. As he developed he was influenced by Cotman and Cézanne, and trees more often became part of a larger landscape. In his later years he was fascinated by the New Forest on his doorstep and the garden where the small trees had by now had time to grow enormous. He cursed them for creating a green shade to his studio light but loved them nevertheless.
