Port of Call
Oil on board, signed verso.
'Port of Call, one of the happiest of his works, a large, cadmium-yellow dolphin is beached, quite blissfully, in a meadow full of flowers with a sea inlet and little hills beyond. In the foreground, little pools each with a goldfish in them faintly recall the pools in the Wood between the Worlds in C.S. Lewis’ Narnia volume, The Magician’s Nephew. Atop the dolphin, but seemingly causing it no stress or harm, sits a diaphanous, faceless figure that could be a woman, child or sprite. The scene is peaceful, sunny, contemplative: the very image of zoomorphic companionship.'
