"After Eric's first successful show at Zwemmers, Robert Wellington has said that they should aim at having a show at least every three years. He also expected to be able to sell a few paintings throughout the year, so he always needed to have some in stock in the gallery, with Eric, if possible, supplying a new one every month..... Against this, Wellington stressed the importance of keeping back enough paintings to make an impressive second show". - Helen Binyon
