| Richard Ellis Naish, Self Portrait |
On a trip to America, where he painted intense oils of the
Arizona Desert, he met his future wife, Martha Anson, a writer under the name
Anne Vernon. After World War II they moved to Lewknor, Oxfordshire, the
countryside which featured in his pictures. A classical painter, fond of
working in contact with the direct visual experience, often in the open air.
