This tiny picture has a feeling of vastness partly because of its ‘emptiness’. The paint is plastered onto the board in thick spontaneous-looking strokes and the distant white cliffs catching the sun are electrifying.

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.
Weymouth Bay (1922) early watercolour
Weymouth Bay (c1935) exhibited at the Redfern Gallery in 1935, no image
