His subjects vary and include anything which excites him because of the colour, or the play of light and shade, whether it be highland cottage, a backlit sheep or a still life arrangement. Richard is particularly fond of the West Coast of Scotland and the Western Isles where he and his wife frequently spend holidays. These areas provide inspiration for much of his landscape work.
