Richard's inspiration is drawn mainly from the bleak and windswept landscape of West Penwith. "I also love to travel and have visited quite a few countries in the last few years, one trip to Morocco gave me plenty of ideas, exploring a new colour palette, painting the bustle of the souks and open vistas of the high Atlas." He plans to return to Tresco, Isles of Scilly, to prepare work for a new show, and visited Mexico in 2019. "My style continues to evolve, lately experimenting in mixed media, though I paint mainly in acrylics, on board or canvas, using sticks, worn out brushes and palette knives." Richard exhibits in galleries throughout Cornwall.
