A rare example of the watercolours Dad was painting on the spot when he was still a teenager visiting his cousins in Weymouth. Although much ‘foxed’ the paper still bears the signs of a spontaneous reaction to the light and warmth of an early summer day.

This watercolour was found in a scrapbook RE compiled to show a selection of studies ". . . drawn before I went to the Slade School, London in 1924 - so they represent a cross section of what I was studying out of school up to the age of twenty one.".

Richard was a regular visitor to Weymouth, staying with relatives there. So it is not surprising that there are a few of his paintings titled 'Weymouth Bay'.
Our apologies if any of the details have got mixed up between them. Let us know.
