Kings Lynn

After sketching on the pavements of France, I spent a year painting the street scenes of the Norfolk town of Kings Lynn. The paintings from that period became the subject of my first one man show, “Lynn and Locality”. On the morning the exhibition opened my wife and I had to attend a wedding. The friend we left in charge asked what he should do if anything sells. We told him, in that unlikely event, write down the contact information of the potential buyer. When we returned at mid-day, almost all the paintings had sold, one of which resulted in my first royal patronage.
