Christmas Eve: 1951
oil on canvas
182.9 x 304.8 cm
I had anticipated going to the opening of this exhibition but as it was just two days after returning from Italy I was just too tired!
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Christmas Eve again. I don't know when I first saw it but it was a presence in all the years at Waddington Galleries.

Some of the other paintings were very much present in day to day stock and may well have been given a little tlc prior to this exhibition. Some of the works are now framed and glazed in a simple format which looks just right.

Balcony with Rough Sea: St Ives :1953-54
oil on canvas
size tbc
I still really respond to the artist's use of colour at this stage in his career. After the Tate Retrospective Patrick produced an outpouring of small scale gouache works which seemed to reference aspects of his works throughout his career. I can remember sensing a re-appraisal and seeing colour and handling references all the way back to these early 1950's works.

I don't think that I have ever seen this painting (Black Fish...) before, except possibly in illustration and it is a really strong composition in the context of this exhibition.
