It is always a special pleasure to sell a painting to a buyer with connections to the Thames. This painting was bought by someone whose family worked as dockers at the wharf and for whom it holds precious memories.
This painting was made in 1950 during a time when there were many water tanks left lying around. During the war these tanks were used to put out incendiary bombs and this painting whilst not strictly 'true' was based on a typical Bermondsey scene. This painting was in fact a study for a larger work which was one of the first paintings I exhibited while a student at Camberwell School of Art (in a college show) and to my delight was bought by Sir William Coldstream. This smaller study, a happy memory, is not for sale.

Delighted to find a painting of mine featured in this winter exhibition alongside many illustrious names like Graham Sutherland, Paul Cezanne, Barbara Hepworth, Patrick Heron, Ben Nicholson and Paul Nash. Even better though to appear in an exhibition alongside many of my old colleagues and peers; Victor Pasmore, Anthony Eyton, Francis Hoyland, and John Christopherson.
