A rough sea at Roker, where Ron lived for most of his life. A wave bursts against the lighthouse at the end of Roker Pier and throws spray high above the lantern, while the swell rolls in, dark green and grey, across the foreground. Ron worked the spray in fine flecks of white over the pier’s banded stonework, and the sky above is pale and unsettled. He wrote “Roker Lighthouse” along the bottom, beside his signature.
