Hello Richard. I spoke to you a few years ago. My father, John Murphy, bought some of your early works in the 70's, 80's. I possess an oil done by you in Queensland entitled "Stack, Ravenswood" Nth Qld from my fathers estate. Oddly, I now live in Qld, and I am interested to know if your early years were a learning curve for you, or a watershed of your learning experience. Do these fabulous paintings hold a place in your heart, and should they best be revered in Oz or Godzone, ie, Eastbourne. You know, I first paddled in the sea at Eastbourne beach as a 12 month old,(56 years ago) and have had a memorable love experience in the vicinity as a headstruck teen. (I can envisage every corner of the road toward Eastbourne in my Morris Minor). I admire the fact you are now an international celebrity, and obviously a much matured artist. I am asking if your Australian experiences are more valued here, or do they belong in Kiwi? I would like to hear from you, even just to engage your correspondence, and possibly secrete more info of your mystique. Kind regards, Michael Murphy.
