Like a still from a socially realistic film from the 60s-70s.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, yet another great sketch of a living artist from the East End. That is a funny story about Ronald’s work as a young man being accepted at the Royal Society. I bet his instructor was jealous!

I had occasion to attend the summer show at the Academy at Burlington House a few years back. I signed up for the tour and was the only one. If I may quote from my trip report:

“Our docent was pleased that the door of the board room, usually closed to the public, was ajar so we stepped in to view the self-portraits of the RA’s first president SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS (1723-1792) and his successor American born BENJAMIN WEST (1792-1805). Curiously Reynolds painting seemed patterned on Michelangelo’s self-portrait that hangs in the National Gallery while West’s has the undeniable cast of his studies of George Washington.”

It is a very impressive setting. Wishing Ronald continued good health and productivity…

Ronald the ‘quiet man’ has lived ‘forever’ in London and knows his way around town & the Thames, and am sure he has the right work-ups for his brand of art not shown here. Pic shown has a rainy day finish which intrigues and excites me, not sure about the canvas size. His art output has been big…big. I would liked to have seen more of his work. !I can – if I or the public out there buys GA’s book. There has to be lots of exiting stuff inside. Poet John

What a wonderful commitment to his work Mr Morgan has. And he looks very well for it. If he’s still doing unframed ‘favours’ for £300 I might raid the piggy bank.
