From the collection of Mrs Winifred Arnold of Little Baddow, near Chelmsford, who attended John's courses at Flatford. In May 1970 he wrote a note for her own catalogue, "I remember her pressing me for instruction in perspective and other professional aspects ... but I fended off these requests ... objects were as she saw them and she made them conform to her vision ".
11 of John's Christmas cards were lent by another recipient for his one-man exhibition at Chelmsford & Worthing, 1971.
