Supplementary Information

The painting is inspired by the poem 'Hotel by the Sea' by David Scott and is also known as The Window. It was used on the cover of the Bloodaxe 1998 edition of Scott's Selected Poems.

The painting was part of the permanent collection at the London Arts Club in Dover Street until November 2009. The Arts Club made a foolish attempt to sell the painting to raise money for a "make-over" (Bonhams, Knightsbridge, 10 November 2009) but appears to have been thwarted by legal issues. The work is now in a private collection where, no doubt it is treasured. Two other lots in the same sale (one by Graham Arnold and one by Graham Ovenden) went through a similar ordeal. Curiously, Bonhams chose not to put their "AR" symbol in the catalogue signifying that the artist is still alive (and thus a payment under the "Artist Resale Rights Regulations" should be made to the artist).
