Footnotes

Provenance
The Artist, May 1974, from whom acquired by the family of the present owner
Private Collection, U.K.

The first owner of this work noted in a diary entry of 9 May 1974 '6:45 am St Ives. No papers owing to strike. Wet and windy much of the day. Beth [McWilliam] and I shopped and we all went to the Heron's house - Eagles Nest, at Zennor. This in a wonderful situation among rocks of great complexity and solidity. They have an extra dimensional quality. I began to understand the feeling men had for megaliths. Patrick's pictures also take on a new dimension seen in a house and not a gallery. I bought a little one, gouache, stuck on to canvas. Makes me think of St Ives harbour and a honed cairn'.

We are grateful to Dr Andrew Wilson for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
