He is well known for his pictures of game birds and waterfowl and follows closely the bird painting tradition represented by Archibald Thorburn and Philip Rickman, the latter from whom he received much advice and encouragement. In correspondence with LoeBooks he shared "I spent many hours talking to Philip about painting and about other bird artists he knew such as Thorburn and his good friend and teacher George Lodge ,as you will know, both great artist in their own way. Philip helped me in many ways when I first started to paint birds as a profession. I have always admired his approach and skill in depicting birds and their habitat, particularly in relation to colour." Described by The Sunday Times as the country's most distinguished game bird artist, Richard attended the Winchester College of Art after leaving school and was a regular soldier for 20 years. In 1978, Richard formed Fine Sporting Interests Limited, his fine art publishing company. His original paintings and limited edition prints are much in demand and he devotes much of his time to private commissions.].
