This painting was first exhibited in the "Pictures for Schools" exhibition held at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1950, where it was voted most popluar picture in the girls' choice category. Richard also won most popular picture in the boy's choice category in the same show with Jonah and the Whale (1950).

'Sea View' was bought from the exhibition by the London County Council through the Pictures for Schools scheme run by the The Society for Education through Art (SEA) that existed between 1947 and 1969, originally chaired by Nan Youngman , to encourage local education authorities and other education institutions to purchase original works of art.

Richard submitted paintings to several of these exhibitions, and sold a good many of them.
