During the War years and immediately after, when it was less easy to travel, Tempest found a source of inspiration within the safety and comfort of his home and garden (44 Llanover Rd, SE18). From here, he produced a remarkable series of views recording the different seasons, weather conditions, and fall of sunlight at different times of day.
